Hihara, Shogo; Umemura, Tomotaka; Iwasa, Yasuhiro; Saiga, Satoko; Sugimura, Kazumi – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Developing identities that are well-aligned with sociocultural expectations is a key psychosocial developmental task for adolescents and emerging adults. Most studies have examined identity development focusing on how individuals develop their identities (identity process), such as identity exploration and commitment. Meanwhile, researchers have…

Mitchell, Lauren L.; Adler, Jonathan M.; Carlsson, Johanna; Eriksson, Py Liv; Syed, Moin – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Though Erikson recognized identity development as a lifelong project, most research on identity has focused on adolescents and emerging adults. Less is known about how the identity formed in adolescence is maintained and adapted across the adult life span. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a conceptual review and elaboration of…

Hatano, Kai; Hihara, Shogo; Nakama, Reiko; Tsuzuki, Manabu; Mizokami, Shinichi; Sugimura, Kazumi – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Previous research on identity development among adolescents has focused on the processes involved. However, it is unclear how the sense of identity (synthesis and confusion) develops and how it relates to life satisfaction. This study aims to examine the relationship between sense of identity and life satisfaction among Japanese youth living in…

Eriksson, Py Liv; Wängqvist, Maria; Carlsson, Johanna; Frisén, Ann – Developmental Psychology, 2020
This longitudinal study investigated identity development across early adulthood. To examine both stability and change in identity development, an explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. First, patterns of identity status development across early adulthood were examined, followed by an in-depth qualitative approach to understand more about…

Ackert, Elizabeth; Snidal, Matthew; Crosnoe, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Persistence in high school curricula leading to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers is structured by complex institutional systems, but developmental processes underlie how young people navigate these systems. This study examined differences in the development of STEM identity and efficacy during high school among…

Mitchell, Lauren L.; Frazier, Patricia A.; Sayer, Nina A. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Most research and theory on identity integration focuses on adolescents and young adults under age 30, and relatively little is known about how identity adjusts to major life events later in life. The purpose of the present study was to operationalize and investigate "identity disruption," or a loss of temporal identity integration…

Meca, Alan; Gonzales-Backen, Melinda; Davis, Rachel; Rodil, Julie; Soto, Daniel; Unger, Jennifer B. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Ethnic identity is a consistent predictor of positive youth adjustment, whereas discrimination has been associated with negative outcomes among Latino/a youth. Scholars have proposed associations between ethnic identity and discrimination; however, directionality of effects remains unclear. Addressing this gap, the current study examined the…

Bishop, Meg D.; Fish, Jessica N.; Hammack, Phillip L.; Russell, Stephen T. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Using data from the first national probability sample of Black, White, and Latinx sexual minority people in the United States, we examined whether and how sexual identity development timing and pacing differs across demographic subgroups at the intersections of cohort, sex, sexual identity, and race/ethnicity. Among a sample of 1,491 participants…

The Longitudinal Influence of Parenting and Parents' Traces on Narrative Identity in Young Adulthood
Camia, Christin; Sengsavang, Sonia; Rohrmann, Sonja; Pratt, Michael W. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This longitudinal follow-up studied continued effects of parental influences on narrative identity in young adulthood. Decades of research have shown the importance of parental shared reminiscing and positive parenting for the development of children's and youths' autobiographical memory and narrative identity. Yet, research on long-term…

Becht, Andrik I.; Nelemans, Stefanie A.; Branje, Susan J. T.; Vollebergh, Wilma A. M.; Koot, Hans M.; Meeus, Wim H. J. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
A central assumption of identity theory is that adolescents reconsider current identity commitments and explore identity alternatives before they make new commitments in various identity domains (Erikson, 1968; Marcia, 1966). Yet, little empirical evidence is available on how commitment and exploration dynamics of identity formation affect each…

Negru-Subtirica, Oana; Pop, Eleonora Ioana; Crocetti, Elisabetta – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Identity formation is a main adolescent psychosocial developmental task. The complex interconnection between different processes that are at the basis of one's identity is a research and applied intervention priority. In this context, the identity style model focuses on social-cognitive strategies (i.e., informational, normative, and…

Galliher, Renee V.; McLean, Kate C.; Syed, Moin – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Historically, identity researchers have placed greater emphasis on processes of identity development ("how" people develop their identities) and less on the content of identity ("what" the identity is). The relative neglect of identity content may reflect the lack of a comprehensive framework to guide research. In this article,…

Balkaya-Ince, Merve; Cheah, Charissa S. L.; Kiang, Lisa; Tahseen, Madiha – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Despite its implications for positive youth development, factors and processes that promote civic engagement are critically understudied, particularly among Muslim American adolescents for whom opportunities for civic engagement could be hindered by Islamophobia and hate crimes. Prior work has proposed that parents can strengthen adolescents'…

Nelson, Sarah C.; Kling, Johanna; Wängqvist, Maria; Frisén, Ann; Syed, Moin – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Although Erikson (1968) originally conceptualized identity development as a process of becoming at home in one's body, little work has been done linking identity development and research on the body. This study examines how trajectories of the development of body esteem over time are related to young people's sense of identity and psychological…

Changes in Disclosure Stress and Depression Symptoms in a Sample of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youth
Mallory, Allen B.; Pollitt, Amanda M.; Bishop, Meg D.; Russell, Stephen T. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Disclosing a sexual minority (e.g., lesbian, gay, or bisexual) identity to others is an ongoing process throughout life. Research shows that disclosure is stressful, and this stress is related to poorer mental health for sexual minority youth. However, there are few theoretically grounded studies examining disclosure stress and its prospective…
