Abstract
The current study examined the relationship between ego level and enjoyment of time alone in 11-14 year old boys and girls. Participants filled out three questionnaires: one sentence completion form measuring ego development level (Hy and Loevinger, 1996); and two forms rating thoughts, feelings, and actions during specific and general times spent alone and with friends. No significant relationship was found between ego level and enjoyment of time alone. The relationship between the studied variables appears to be more complex than anticipated, although methodological problems may have also contributed to the lack of significance. Significant relationships were found however, between ego level and amount of introspective activity, as well as between ego level and amount of variance in enjoyment of time alone.
