Comparison of Impulse, EGO, and Superego Functions in Better Adjusted and More Poorly Adjusted Delinquent Adolescent Girls

Abstract

Dombrose and Slobin's IES Test was given to a group of ‘high’ adjusted and a group of ‘low’ adjusted delinquent girls. It was predicted that the ‘high’ adjusted group would make more ego and superego responses and fewer impulse responses than the ‘low’ adjusted group. No significant differences were found between the two groups.
