Identity Development, Parental and Peer Support in Adolescence: Results of a National Dutch Survey.
Meeus, Wim; Dekovic, Maja
Adolescence, v30 n120 p931-44 Win 1995
Dutch adolescents, ages 12 to 14, completed the Utrect-Groningen Identity Development Scale, which encompasses separate scales for commitment in exploration for relational, school, and occupational identity. Results show that relational identity becomes consistently stronger as adolescents age, and that for girls, relational identity is much more important than school or occupational identity. (JPS)
