Identity formation in adolescent and emerging adult cancer survivors
OBJECTIVE: Identity formation was investigated in adolescent and emerging adult cancer survivors from a (neo-)Eriksonian perspective by comparing survivors to control participants. In survivors, associations between identity and clinical/demographical variables and general and illness-specific functioning were investigated. DESIGN: : 19.54; 47% male) were matched on age and gender with healthy controls (2:1). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All participan…
Personal identity, somatic symptoms, and symptom-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
The present paper includes two studies examining how identity functioning is related to (psychological characteristics of) somatic symptoms. Study 1 examined associations between identity and somatic symptoms, whereas Study 2 additionally examined associations between identity and psychological characteristics of somatic symptoms and investigated the mediating role of anxiety and depressive symptoms in the association between identity disturbance…
Identity synthesis and confusion in early to late adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Research on identity development has primarily studied over-time trends in identity status change and exploration and commitment processes among late adolescents and emerging adults. Identity development in early and mid-adolescents has generally been overlooked. Hence, little is known about how a sense of identity synthesis and confusion evolves from early to late adolescence for boys and girls. METHODS: The present cross-sectional…
Trauma and self‐harming behaviors in high school students
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the link between trauma and self-harming behaviors in South African high school students, and examined the mediating role of identity formation. Traumatic experiences have been commonly associated with self-harming behaviors in adolescents. However, research addressing this association in non-Western countries is limited. METHODS: = 16 years) were included in the study. Students completed self-report question…
Internalization of Appearance Ideals and Appearance Comparison among Adolescent Boys and Girls
The detrimental impact of sociocultural pressures on adolescents’ body image has been widely established. However, it remains unclear why or for whom such pressures lead to increased appearance ideals internalization and appearance comparison. This cross-sectional study investigated moderating and indirect effects of identity confusion/synthesis in the relationship between (1) sociocultural pressures and (2) appearance ideals internalization and …

Identity and Psychopathology
Research has demonstrated the important impact of identity on psychosocial functioning in both community and clinical populations. The present article aims to identify different mechanisms through which identity may be related to psychopathology. Emphasis is placed on neo-Eriksonian identity models targeting identity mechanisms both at the structural and process levels. With respect to psychopathology, the present article focuses mainly on distur…
Identity Distress Throughout Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood
The process of identity formation can cause a considerable amount of distress leading to pathological forms of identity distress. The present study examined age trends in identity distress and associations with identity exploration and commitment in a sample of 2,286 Flemish adolescents and emerging adults (14–30 years, 55.7% females). Important and theoretically meaningful age trends in identity distress were uncovered. More specifically, identi…
