This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differences in relationship style scores (secure, fearful, preoccupied, dismissing) and psychosocial balance scale scores (basic trust, autonomy, identity, intimacy, generativity) were examined as a function of identity style (informational, normative, diffuse/avoidant), sex-role identity (feminine, masculine, androgynous, undifferentiated), age (young adult, middle adult, late adult), and gender. Three hundred and eighty-eight participants (166 men and 222 women) completed self-report questionnaires designed to measure the relevant constructs. Results indicated that identity processing style did not prove to be significantly related to relationship style or psychosocial balance scores. However, differences in sex-role identity were predictive of different patterns of scores on the relationship style measure and the psychosocial balance measure. In addition, the secure relationship style was positively predictive of all five psychosocial balance scale scores. These findings suggest that identity processing style may play a lesser role than sex-role identity classification in determining patterns of differences in relationship styles and psychosocial adjustment.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the relationships among parent, peer, and romantic attachment, identity processing style, and emotion regulation. Previous studies have revealed potential associations among each of the aforementioned factors (e.g., between identity and attachment as well as between attachment and emotion regulation), but this is the first study to examine the three factors together, putting emphasis on romantic attachment. It was predicted that attachment will vary depending on the interaction between identity processing style and emotion regulation. College students (N= 390) in psychology courses participated in an anonymous online survey for course credit. Parent attachment was significantly predicted by age, gender, cognitive reappraisal, the diffuse-avoidant identity style, and the normative identity style; peer attachment was significantly predicted by expressive suppression, the diffuse-avoidant identity style, and the informational identity style. Regarding romantic attachment, attachment-anxiety was significantly predicted by the diffuse-avoidant identity style and attachment-avoidance was significantly predicted by age and expressive suppression. Additional analyses and their theoretical implications are further discussed.

Book excerpt: "Identity has been acknowledged by scholars as an important part of human development for about 50 years (Erikson, 1968), and researchers have found empirical support for the importance of identity development. Much of the identity development research is based on Erik Erikson's psychosocial development (Erikson, 1968) and James Marcia's (1966) identity statuses that expanded on the identity versus role confusion stage in Erikson's model. Specifically, the identity statuses relate to whether an individual has committed to an identity and whether the individual has explored her or his identity or had an identity crisis. Many researchers have found that committing to an identity clearly is connected with greater overall wellness (Hofer, Kartner, Chasiotis, Busch, & Keissling, 2007; Schwartz, Beyers, et al. 2011a,). Phinney (1989) and Meeus, Iedema, Helsen, and Vollebergh (1999) also have shown that not committing to an identity is linked with higher levels of psychological distress such as depression or anxiety. Researchers studying identity statuses have developed a clear understanding that committing to an identity tends to result in greater overall wellness and lower levels of psychological distress, yet it is not yet fully apparent what factors best predict Marcia's identity statuses (Kroger, Martinussen, & Marcia, 2010; Meeus et al., 1999). Two different predictors of identity status, attachment and differentiation of self, have been proposed and empirically examined. Generally, researchers have found mild to moderate correlations between attachment style and identity status (Arseth, Kroger, Martinussen, & Marcia, 2009b; Berman, Weems, Rodriguez, & Zamora, 2006; Kennedy, 1999; MacKinnon & Marcia, 2002) and between differentiation of self and identity status (Ford, Nalbone, Wetchler, & Sutton, 2008; Jenkins, Buboltz Jr., Schwartz, & Johnson, 2005; Johnson, Buboltz Jr., & Seemann, 2003). No study was located that investigated both constructs together as predictors of identity status, so it is unknown what portion of the predictive ability of each is shared, warranting an examination of the two as simultaneous predictors. At the same time, because these correlations have been modest, it seems there is a need to consider other possible predictors of identity status (Kroger, 2007; Marcia, 1989; 2002). Accordingly, three constructs (mood, communication, and personal narrative), based on Eisenberg's (2001) Identity Process Model, also were considered as predictors. The purpose of this study, then, was to test a more comprehensive model of six predictor variables (attachment-related anxiety, attachment-related avoidance, differentiation of self, mood, communication, and personal narrative) based on theoretical connections between Bowlby (1973, 1982, 1988) and Ainsworth's (1978; 1989; Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978) work on attachment styles, Bowen's (1976, 1978) work on differentiation of self, and Eisenberg's (2001) Identity Process Model, as well as some recent empirical investigations (Arseth et al., 2009b; Berman et al., 2006; Ford et al., 2008; Jenkins et al., 2005; MacKinnon & Marcia, 2002). This study was built on the previous research and served to connect different theoretical orientations to better understand identity statuses and their predictors, which will further inform the development processes within counseling. The results showed that more variance in identity status can be explained when using the proposed predictors than has been found in previous research. Also, the identity statuses have different predictors that significantly predict each status. This knowledge can provide counselors with a framework for better understanding identity development and for how to facilitate clients' work in counseling. Implications for counselors, counselor educators, and researchers are discussed including recommendations of counseling interventions to encourage identity development and the associated wellness benefits."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity has been a topical issue in both popular and social science literatures for the past forty years. The writings of Erik Erikson on the identity formation process of late adolescence have provided an important theoretical foundation to clinical, counseling, and educational practices. As the literature on adolescent development has burgeoned over the last three decades, so have efforts to understand, more systematically, the means by which young people find their occupational, religious, political, sexual and relational roles in life. One of the most popular research traditions to spring from Erikson's clinical observations has been the ego identity status approach developed by James Marcia. This approach has expanded Erikson's concept of identity to describe four distinct styles by which adolescents and adults deal with identity-defining issues. The present volume reflects the most recent efforts of social scientists who have contributed further to the work that Erikson and Marcia began -- an exhaustive analysis of the issues inherent in the adolescent identity formation process.

Download or read book Attachment Style and Self identity as Predictors of Romantic Relationship Quality Among Emerging Adults written by M. Charis Geevarughese and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In previous research, both attachment style and self-identity have been found to be related to adult relationship quality. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that self-identity mediated the relationship between attachment style and relationship quality. Attachment style was assessed using the Experiencing Close Relationships revised version (ECR-R). Self-identity was assessed using two identity status measures, the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS) and the Identity Style Inventory-Version 4 (ISI-4). Self-identity was also measured as self-evaluative constructs using measures of shame (ISS and TOSCA-3) and self-compassion (SCS). Participants were young adults who were currently in a romantic relationship. The results of the study indicated that self-identity was a significant but weak partial mediator of the effect of attachment on relationship quality. It appears that although self-identity is important in predicting relationship quality, attachment is the primary factor in predicting the experience of satisfaction in romantic relationships among young adults.

Download or read book Using Identity Processing Styles to Better Understand a Comprehensive Status Model of Identity Development written by Jennifer L. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study set out to investigate the process and structure of identity development based on Erikson's (1963) epigenetic theory of identity development. The present study used an updated identity status model (Luyckx et al., 2008a) and a cognitive processing styles model (Berzonsky, 1990) to explore how both models relate in order to extend our understanding of the identity development process. The Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS) and the Identity Style Inventory (ISI-3) were used to measure identity status and style in a sample of university students (N=419). Three hypotheses were tested to ascertain the relationship between style and status. A two-step cluster analysis procedure was used to determine the number of status clusters in this study. Results showed that six status clusters were evident, supporting hypothesis one. Regarding hypothesis two, although participants in three of the six different statuses reported preferring the processing style theoretically consistent with their status, participants in three of six statuses did not. In addition, all of the clusters endorsed the Informational processing style to the highest degree. Results related to hypothesis three showed that the relative level of endorsement of each processing style was consistent with predictions, past findings and theory. The present findings therefore support some tenets of Eriksonian theory and provide support for a process of identity development that includes both commitment formation and commitment evaluation. However, although evidence was found to support the comprehensive model of identity development proposed by Luyckx et al., the utility of a combined process and structural theory of identity development based on the work of Berzonsky (1988) and Luyckx et al. remains unclear and warrants further research.

Book excerpt: This welcome resource traces the evolution of self-concept clarity and brings together diverse strands of research on this important and still-developing construct. Locating self-concept clarity within current models of personality, identity, and the self, expert contributors define the construct and its critical roles in both individual and collective identity and functioning. The book examines commonly-used measures for assessing clarity, particularly in relation to the more widely understood concept of self-esteem, with recommendations for best practices in assessment. In addition, a wealth of current data highlights the links between self-concept clarity and major areas of mental wellness and dysfunction, from adaptation and leadership to body image issues and schizophrenia. Along the way, it outlines important future directions in research on self-concept clarity. Included in the coverage: Situating self-concept clarity in the landscape of personality. Development of self-concept clarity across the lifespan. Self-concept clarity and romantic relationships. Who am I and why does it matter? Linking personal identity and self-concept clarity. Consequences of self-concept clarity for well-being and motivation. Self-concept clarity and psychopathology. Self-Concept Clarity fills varied theoretical, empirical, and practical needs across mental health fields, and will enhance the work of academics, psychologists interested in the construct as an area of research, and clinicians working with clients struggling with developing and improving their self-concept clarity.
