Sowohl für die Ergebnisse aus dem Selbsteinschätzungsfragebogen als auch für die Ergebnisse aus einem Verhaltensmaß für Konformität (Index gebildet aus Verweisen aufgrund Verhaltens gegen die Schulautorität) zeigten sich die erwarteten kurvilinearen Beziehungen: Die höchsten Werte für Konformismus fanden sich jeweils im konformistischen Bereich der Ich-Entwicklung (E4 und E5), während die Werte auf den Stufen davor und danach geringer ausfielen. Die Beziehung zwischen den beiden Werten für Konformismus blieb auch nach dem **Herauspartialisieren** des Alters oder des IQ-Wertes signifikant.
I've translated this last bit as "even after residualizing age or IQ score," but that's based on rather flimsy evidence and I'm not sure whether it makes sense.
Thanks!

Comment: "It seems best to use the term that is closest to the German, although "controlling for" is much more comprehensible to the non-specialist. Thanks to all (notably to Johanna, who gave this answer but didn't post it!)."

elimination / to eliminate
This seems to be about eliminating (potentially) confounding factors/variables such as age and IQ from the (statistical) analysis.
See, for example,
https://psychotutorium.wordpress.com/spss/korrelation/partia...
"Eliminiert man mathematisch den Einfluss dieser Variablen c ( = „herauspartialisieren“), so zeigt sich der „wahre“ Zusammenhang von a und b."
http://www.methoden-psychologie.de/kovarianzanalyse.html
"Bei der Kovarianzanalyse wird der Einfluss einer Drittvariablen – hier als Kovariate bezeichnet – auf die abhängigen Variablen rechnerisch konstant gehalten, d.h. ihr Einfluss wird herausgerechnet (herauspartialisiert)."
