Stephen, Joanne; And Others
Journal of Adolescence, v15 n3 p283-300 Sep 1992
Examined significance of instrumental versus experiential orientation and of formistic versus dialectical thinking in identity research. Among 60 college students, those in identity status characterized by formation and maintenance of structure (Foreclosure) were instrumentally oriented whereas those characterized by openness to change and revision (Moratorium) were experientially oriented. Similarly, more Moratoriums that other statuses were high in dialectical thinking. (Author/NB)
