520 |a Ego-control and ego-resiliency were evaluated in seven assessments conducted when subjects were 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 14, and 18 years old. Ego-control refers to an individual's tendency to express or contain impulses, feelings, and desires. Ego-resiliency refers to the capacity to modify one's modal level of ego-control as a function of environmental context. In 106 high school seniors who were followed longitudinally, early correlates of later control and resiliency were identified. Information was also obtained from parents. For both sexes, there is ordering consistency of ego-control from nursery school through late adolescence. Resiliency in boys shows appreciable consistency from early childhood to age 18. For girls, there is a sliding transformation over the years; early resiliency does not relate to later resiliency. Undercontrol is foretold for girls by emotion-expressing, independence-encouraging, nontraditional parents, and for boys, by paternal impatience and disappointment, maternal self-centeredness, and family environments which are neither child-oriented nor child-supportive. Factors which foster relative under-control in girls foster the mastering of under-control in boys. Interactions of mothers and fathers with their daughters related strongly to later resiliency. Maternal encouragement, pleasure, and patience with 4-year-old daughters predicted resiliency. Resiliency in boys was foretold by similar maternal interactions and, in addition, paternal emphases on high standards and rationality in the context of a warm relationship. (RH)
