Abstract
The influence of gender, age, and education on ego development was assessed among 159 older adults in Northeast Georgia using Loevinger's theory of ego development and a shorter version of the Sentence Completion Test. Results found older men and women similar in their ego development levels. And, although there was a trend for increased ego development up to age 74, the findings as they related to age were not significant. However, educational level was found to have a significant influence on ego development even into later years. The authors offer several explanations and suggestions for the findings of the study.
