Jane Loevinger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Loevinger Weissman (February 18, 1918 - January 4, 2008) was a developmental psychologist who developed a theory of personality which emphasized the gradual internalization of social rules and the maturing conscience for the origin of personal decisions. She also contributed to the theory of measurements by introducing the coefficient of test homogeneity.
In 1943, she married Samuel Isaac Weissman (June 25, 1912 - June 12, 2007), a scientist who contributed to the Manhattan Project. They had a son and a daughter.
