Abstract
Summary This study, using samples of 300 of each sex from the 1973 APA Directory, replicated 1948 research showing female age concealment and again found a significant (p < .001) sex difference. With BA dates yielding assumed age, 1948 data showed principally older women concealing. In 1973, there was significant (p < .01) concealment increase among the younger women, but age still had an influence, judging from actual ages of 35 concealers returning a questionnaire and from assumed ages of .55 nonreturning concealers; all women were significantly older (p < .01) than men; and returning concealers, contrasted with men and women revealers, received BA's when significantly older (p < .01; p < .02). Compared to 1948, both sexes were significantly older (p < .01), but female time distance from the BA was significantly longer (p < .02) than male. All such factors may augment concealment. There was also a significant (p < .01) geographical-concealment association, itself highly related to age. It is hypothesize...
