Abstract
Psychological differences between 25 pre- and 25 post-empty nest women were examined on gender identity and ego mastery style using responses to Thematic Apperception Test cards. Group differences indicated that post-empty nest women engaged in a more active ego mastery style than pre-empty nest women and also claimed more masculine traits.Keywords
