Abstract
Level of ego development, locus of control, and identity achievement were assessed in 294 college students who came from intact, divorced, and divorced-remarriage family backgrounds. Contrary to popular assumptions. divorce backgrounds were not predictive of lower scores on the three measures. In fact, males from divorce families held higher ego-identity achievement scores than males from intact families or females from intact or divorce families. Further, no evidence was found for the argument that remarriage (step-parenting) may attenuate negative consequences of divorce on college students' development.
