Sex Differences in the Relationship of POI Self-Actualization to Other Adjustment and Maturity Measures

Self-actualization, internality (locus of control), and moral reasoning, though developed in somewhat different arenas,,are all concepts theoretically related to personal adjustment. The relationship of self=actualization to personal adjustment and growth is mort direct and has been supported for several studies of adjustment (e.g., Fox, Knapp, & Michael, 1968; Shostrom, 1966). Likewise, Rotter’s Internality-Externality scale has been employed in several studies that have shown externality related to pathology and distress (e.g., Harrow & Ferrante, 1968) and internality to positive health indicators, inclusing favorable self-description (Hersch & Scheibe, 1967). Although moral maturity has not been empirically related to adjustment, the construct, as formulated and assessed by Kohlberg (1963) depicts a process of normal and natural growth toward mature stages that are adaptive and less susceptible to conflict than earlier stages. Kohlberg (1968) ackowledges the theoretical relationship between his approach and various clinical-personality conceptializations, including Maslow’s self-actualization.
