Erik Eriksen is a remarkable individual. He has no college degrees yet is Professor of Human Development at Harvard University. He came to psychology via art, which explains why the reader will find him painting contexts and backgrounds rather than stating dull facts and concepts. He has been a training psychoanalyst for many years as well as a perceptive observer of cultural and social settings and their effect on growing up. This is not just a book on childhood. It is a panorama of our society. Anxiety in young children, apathy in American Indians, confusion in veterans of war, and arrogance in young Nazis are scrutinized under the psychoanalytic magnifying glass. The material is well written and devoid of technical jargon. The theme of the volume is that it is human to have a long childhood which will leave a lifelong residue of emotional immaturity in man. Primitive groups and

Childhood and Society.

Identification in Organizations: An Examination of Four Fundamental Questions

Two analyses were conducted to examine gender differences in global self-esteem In analysis I, a computerized literature search yielded 216 effect sizes, representing the testing of 97,121 respondents The overall effect size was 021, a small difference favoring males A significant quadratic effect of age indicated that the largest effect emerged in late adolescence (d = 033) In Analysis II, gender differences were examined using 3 large, nationally representative data sets from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) All of the NCES effect sizes, which collectively summarize the responses of approximately 48,000 young Americans, indicated higher male self-esteem (ds ranged from 004 to 024) Taken together, the 2 analyses provide evidence that males score higher on standard measures of global self-esteem than females, but the difference is small Potential reasons for the small yet consistent effect size are discussed

A review of the acculturation experiences of international students

This study sought to understand the utilization rates and presenting concerns of international students in order to identify relevant topics for outreach programming. We examined the presenting concerns of all international students (n= 41) who sought counseling at a university counseling center during an academic year. The results indicated that only about 2% of the international student body sought counseling services from the counseling center that year. Results also showed that most of the international students who sought counseling presented with concerns about depression, assertiveness, academic major, and anxiety, and that about a third dropped out after the initial intake session. Implications for outreach programming with international students are addressed.

Utilization Rate and Presenting Concerns of International Students at a University Counseling Center: Implications for Outreach Programming

This study examined the differential nature of relations between degree of identity development (Moratorium and Achieved identity statuses) and career and psychological separation variables for men (n = 129) and women (n = 118). Career development variables predicted degree of identity exploration (Moratorium identity status) and identity commitment (Achieved identity status) for both genders. For men, conflictual independence from parents predicted degree of identity exploration, and emotional independence predicted degree of identity commitment, negatively and incrementally. For women, attitudinal independence predicted degree of identity commitment, negatively and incrementally. Suggestions regarding counseling and career counseling are given.

Identity development, career development, and psychological separation from parents: Similarities and differences between men and women.

L'objet de cette etude est de montrer que l'on peut operer une meilleure conceptualisation du probleme d'indecision vocationnelle (choix de carriere professionnelle) lorsqu'on le considere comme un phenomene multivarie. Realisee aupres de 196 etudiants presentant des problemes de choix de carriere, les analyses multivariees portent sur 10 des variables issues des questionnaires de personnalites auxquels les sujets ont ete soumis (estime de soi, anxiete, travail, locus of control...). Les analyses en clusters permettent de degager certains subtypes

Types of vocational undecidedness: A replication and refinement.

We investigated psychological distress and vocational problems presented by university students seeking help at a university counseling center (N = 597, 68% female, 12% African American, 9% Asian American, 58% White). All students reported distress in several areas, but African American students in particular perceived barriers when pursuing their vocational goals and Asian American students were unclear about their vocational identity. Especially for White students vocational difficulties correlated with psychological distress, and for women in particular anxiety and depression symptoms and perceived vocational barriers related to how well they functioned in school and in relationships.

Counseling Needs of Students Who Seek Help at a University Counseling Center: A Closer Look at Gender and Multicultural Issues

Using a sample of 2818 first-year college students, 51% of whom
were male, and 65% of whom were Caucasian, we related their identity
processing styles as determined by the Identity Styles Inventory (ISI,
Berzonsky, 1992) to self-perceived academic self-efficacy and academic
performance. We conceptualized obstacles to identity development and
academic success and discussed proactive interventions within a context
of gender and cultural diversity.
