Managers as Moral Leaders: Moral Identity Processes in the Context of Work
This qualitative study explores how business leaders narrate their personal ways of recognizing, reasoning, and resolving moral conflicts and what these stories reveal about their moral identity processes within organizational contexts. Based on interviews with 25 business leaders, 4 moral identity statuses were identified: achievement (commitment to a personally meaningful moral value framework that had been established through a period of self-…
The Epigenesis of Identity—What Does It Mean
Erikson borrowed the concept of epigenesis from embryology to propose that optimal personality development involves a sequencing of life tasks that emerges according to a predetermined principle of readiness by the individual; one’s growing biological capacities, psychological desires, as well as social demands lead one into a broadening array of interactions with people and social institutions through the life span. Erikson assumed that the conf…

Identity Development in Adulthood: Introduction
In line with Erikson’s suggestions, increasing empirical evidence substantiates that considerable identity development takes place over the course of adulthood. What then does identity development during adulthood entail? The key findings of adult identity formation from four culturally different countries, and the challenges of analyzing the complex concept of identity are discussed. Although a wide array of identity measures are available, they…
Identity in Childhood and Adolescence
Identity Status and Authoritarianism: A Meta-Analysis
This investigation was undertaken to examine the relationship between identity status and authoritarianism through techniques of meta-analysis. Identity theory and earlier research have suggested associations between these constructs, but they have not previously been submitted to meta-analysis procedures. This analysis examined the hypothesis that foreclosures would score significantly higher on measures of authoritarianism than achievement, mor…
Identity Status and Self-Esteem: A Meta-Analysis
This study examines the relationship between Marcia's identity statuses and self-esteem measures through techniques of meta-analysis. Global self-esteem, as used here, refers to one's positive or negative attitudes toward oneself, degree of self-respect, self-worth, and faith in one's own capacities. Identity theory would predict strong linkages between the development of self-esteem and identity; however, previous research findings have been inc…
Identity Status and Anxiety: A Meta-Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between identity status and anxiety through techniques of meta-analysis. Early research on identity status and anxiety showed elevated anxiety scores for those in the moratorium status and low anxiety scores among those in the foreclosure status. Later studies reported some gender differences in anxiety scores for particular identity statuses. A total of 565 empirical identity status studi…
Identity Status and Ego Development: A Meta-Analysis
This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between Marcia's identity statuses and Loevinger's stages of ego development through techniques of meta-analysis. Previous theory and research have suggested conceptual and empirical linkages. An initial database of 565 empirical studies of identity status in relation to personality, behavioral, relational, and developmental variables, undertaken between 1966 Marcia , J. E. ( 1966 ). Developme…
Identity Status and Moral Reasoning: A Meta-Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Marcia's identity statuses and Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning through techniques of meta-analysis. The following databases were examined for relevant studies from 1967 to 2005 using the search terms “identity status,” “Marcia and identity,” “Marcia's and identity,” and “ego identity”: PsycINFO, ERIC, Sociological Abstracts, and Dissertation Abstracts International. The search…
Identity Status and Locus of Control: A Meta-Analysis
This investigation examined the relationship between identity status and locus of control through techniques of meta-analysis. Early research has found an association between identity achievement and an internal locus of control and between identity diffusion and an external locus of control. Findings for the relationship between locus of control and the moratorium and foreclosure statuses, however, have been inconsistent. A total of 565 empirica…

All calculations were performed using the software program, Comprehensive Meta‐analysis. Results from longitudinal studies showed the mean proportion…
Meta-Analytic Studies of Identity Status and the Relational Issues of Attachment and Intimacy
Marcia's ego identity status model has been a popular means of examining various dimensions of the adolescent identity formation process over the past 40 years. The purpose of this investigation was to undertake a meta-analysis of studies addressing the relationship between Marcia's identity statuses and attachment (Study 1) and intimacy (Study 2). The following databases were used to identify relevant studies reported between 1966 and 2005: Psyc…
Factors Associated With Relationship and Partner Ideals Among Norwegian University Students 1
Relationship and partner ideals are used to evaluate relationships and partners and may influence important decisions in relationships. The association between relationship and partner ideals and participants' sex and attachment styles was examined among 362 Norwegian university student volunteers (237 women, 126 men), ages 19 to 49 years (M = 23.2, SD = 4.6). Women rated the Partner Warmth/Trustworthiness, Partner Status/Resources, and Relations…

Intimacy status, attachment, separation-individuation patterns, and identity status in female university students
This research examined attachment style, separation-individuation patterns, and identity status in relation to intimacy capacity among emerging adulthood women. Some 100 Norwegian university students, aged 18-29 years (M = 22.4; SD = 2.5) completed the Intimacy Status Interview, the Relationship Questionnaire, the Separation-Individuation Test of Adolescence, and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status-II. Results showed that intima…
Symbolic Meanings of Valued Personal Objects in Identity Transitions of Late Adulthood
Valued personal objects reflect important identity elements. Such possessions may provide individuals with a sense of identity continuity, especially during periods of major life transitions. This qualitative study explores the symbolic meanings and functions of cherished objects for identity maintenance and revision processes among late-life adults following their transition into a supervised living facility. Twenty individuals, 8 men and 12 wom…
Why Is Identity Achievement So Elusive
Sizeable percentages of youths leaving tertiary educational settings appear not to have constructed a sense of their own identity. Both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have commonly produced samples with fewer than half of individuals in Marcia's achieved identity status upon entering young adulthood. At the same time, many investigations have also pointed to the adaptive features associated with identity achievement as well as the fact …
Critique of a Postmodernist Critique
I support Rattansi and Phoenix's (1997) general thesis that historical and contextual issues play a vital role in the adolescent identity formation process. I find 3 general, problematic issues in the Rattansi and Phoenix analysis, however: (a) there are many dubious assumptions and deductions about identity and its formation, (b) many "newer" theorizations of identity that the authors highlighted and recommended have existed for at least 30 year…
What Transits in an Identity Status Transition: A Rejoinder to Commentaries
This reply reviews main themes which formed the framework for my introductory article and then responds to the following general issues which appeared across commentaries from the four groups of contributors: the nature of any intrapsychic structures underlying Marcia's (1966) identity statuses, the developmental sequence of such structures, and the relation of structure to context. I conclude with suggestions for both broadening and refining len…
What Transits in an Identity Status Transition
This article examines the question of what transits in an ego identity status transition. It is argued that Marcia's (1966, 1967) ego identity statuses have different underlying structural organizations in the tradition of neo-Piagetian structural stage models (Snarey, Kohlberg, & Noam, 1983). It is also argued that it is necessary to differentiate structure underlying the ego identity statuses from identity content to understand the meaning of e…

Separation-individuation and ego identity status in late adolescence: A two-year longitudinal study
Introduction: Identity Development Through Adulthood
The process of identity development through adulthood has been a topic of growing interest among identity researchers over the past 15 years. Erikson's (1963, 1968) seminal writings on the identity formation task of adolescence have certainly in-spired a wealth of theoretical and research writings on processes and contents associated with initial identity resolutions made toward the end of adolescence. Identity as formed in adolescence, according…
The Impact of Social Context on the Identity-Formation Process of Norwegian Late Adolescents
This study compares the identity-formation process for Norwegian adolescents across three vocational contexts: university students, employed youths, and unemployed youths. An adaptation of Marcia's Identity Status Interview was administered to the participants, aged 18 to 24 years. All groups indicated work to be of primary importance to their sense of identity. A narrative analysis of vocational and family interview domains found that three gene…

To examine patterns of identity development for late adolescents raised in the Norwegian mixed liberal welfare-state economic system compared with late adolescents raised in the free-market economic system of the United States, ego identity status scores and distributions were examined for 56 (37 women, 19 men). Norwegian and 1498 (814 women, 684 men) United States undergraduate university students using the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Iden…
Ego Identity Status in Cross-Cultural Context: A Replication Study
The purpose was to replicate research by Jensen, Kristiansen, Sandbekk, and Kroger. In that 1998 study, patterns of identity development were examined for late adolescents raised in the mixed liberal welfare-state economic system of Norway compared with late adolescents raised in the free-market economic system of the United States. In the present study, scores for ego identity status were examined for a further sample of 58 (38 women, 20 men) No…
