Validating the Narrative Identity Self-Evaluation Scale in Japan
This study validated the Narrative Identity Self-Evaluation (NISE) scale among Japanese adults through two interconnected studies. In Study 1, a total of 1,500 Japanese adults (aged 18–60 years) completed the NISE alongside measures of subjective well-being and self-concept clarity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the NISE’s four-factor structure – autobiographical reasoning, desire for structure, positive themes, and narrative disturbance…
The Big Five, Life Satisfaction, and Job Identity Development
INTRODUCTION: The school-to-work transition presents a crucial period in young adults' identity development, during which the formation of a job identity becomes a key developmental task. However, job identity development during this transition and the individual traits that predict it remain unexplored. This study aimed to examine job identity development among Japanese youth during their first year of employment and investigate whether the Big …
The Interplay Between Personal Identity and Social Identity Among Vocational High School Students
Although identity research has predominantly focused on college-bound adolescents, it has largely neglected vocational high school students who enter the job market immediately after graduation. Furthermore, most studies have concentrated on personal identity and have overlooked the concurrent development of social identity. This study examined the relationship between adolescents’ personal and social identities over three years of vocational hig…
Relationship between Personality Traits and Subjective Well-Being in Emerging Adulthood
Does Employment Status Matter for Emerging Adult Identity Development and Life Satisfaction? A Two-wave Longitudinal Study
Late emerging adulthood is pivotal for identity exploration and development and is interrelated with life satisfaction. In the development of identity and life satisfaction, it is important to have a stable employment status that supports the foundation of life. However, the interrelationships among identity, life satisfaction, and employment status in late emerging adulthood are unclear. Using a two-wave longitudinal survey, this study examined …

Adolescents’ Identity Development Predicts the Transition and the Adjustment to Tertiary Education or Work
Profiles of Emotional Separation and Parental Trust from Adolescence to Emerging Adulthood
Youth become psychologically independent by emotionally separating from their parents and simultaneously developing a sense of trust in them. While these relational components have been addressed separately, studies focusing on the change in dynamics of these components are lacking. This study examined profiles of parent–youth relationship quality based on emotional separation and parental trust, age differences in the prevalence of these profile…
Patterns of Personality Development and Psychosocial Functioning in Japanese Adolescents
Direction of associations between personality traits and educational identity processes
INTRODUCTION: In adolescence, personality traits and educational identity processes are interwoven. Previous studies have shown that personality traits predict healthy identity commitment and exploration in education. However, the direction of associations between personality traits and an identity process that searches for another identity option (i.e., reconsideration of commitment) is unclear. Furthermore, there is a lack of prospective studie…
Daily Identity Processes and Emotions in Young Adulthood
Trajectories in sense of identity and relationship with life satisfaction during adolescence and young adulthood
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 the urban Kanto, Kansai, and Chubu areas. A total of 5,047 Japanese youth (49.7% female; Time 1 M age =…
Emotional separation, parental trust, and psychosocial adjustment in preadolescence and early adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Emotional separation and parental trust are two fundamental components of parent-adolescent relationships across different cultural contexts. Previous research showed that emotional separation hindered adolescents' psychosocial adjustment, while parental trust benefited it. However, research on preadolescence is lacking. Preadolescence is a crucial period, as theories and findings suggest that too early autonomy around puberty had n…
Diverse-and-Dynamic Pathways in Educational and Interpersonal Identity Formation during Adolescence
This study aimed to examine the relations between educational and interpersonal identity trajectories and psychosocial functioning based on a three-factor identity process model. A total of 968 Japanese adolescents including 13- and 16-years-olds (49.7% female) participated in a four-wave longitudinal study. Latent class growth analysis extracted five identity trajectories in each educational and interpersonal identity domain and revealed (a) hig…

Is adolescence a period of identity formation for all youth? Insights from a four-wave longitudinal study of identity dynamics in Japan
In the present study, we examined changes in identity dynamics during adolescence using the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS), focusing on social and cultural factors possibly affecting identity formation. Identity formation among adolescents outside Western countries is largely unexplored; therefore, we focused on adolescents in Japan. We conducted a longitudinal study with 4 annual measurement points examining 968 Japanese adolesc…
