Abstract

The current study investigated the relationship between resolution of Eriksonian crises and neuroticism and trait anxiety. Eighty-eight undergraduate students completed Constantinople's (1969) Inventory of Psychosocial Development (IPD), the Neuroticism scale from H.J. Eysenck & S.B.G. Eysenck's (1975) EPQ, and Spielberger et al.'s (1970) A-Trait scale. Correlations for both males and females were strongly significant and in the expected direction. Successful resolution of Eriksonian crises was negatively related to maladjustment, as successful resolvers had low anxiety and neuroticism scores. The relationship between adjustment and psychosocial development is discussed.
