The Landscape of Identity Model: An Integration of Qualitative and Quantitative Aspects of Identity Development
The landscape of identity model views identity as a constellation of commitments with different levels of strength and integration, showing how this constellation emerges from everyday life experiences. Drawing on key principles from the complex dynamic systems approach, our model further describes this conceptualization, as well as the mechanisms underlying the development of an identity landscape. We show that the model solves current conceptua…
Experiencing Self-Definition Problems over the Life Span
Throughout the lifespan, defining a clear self-view plays a key role in both self-concept and identity development. Yet, people may encounter problems of self-definition when constructing an image of themselves as result of contrasts or ambiguities in their ideas about themselves. In this study, differences in the occurrence and types of self-definition problems were investigated in a sample of 733 Dutch participants, divided into four groups age…

Predicting Change in Relational Identity Commitments: Exploration and Emotions
Exploration has long been assumed to be the primary mechanism behind changes in identity commitments. Conceptual and operational definitions of exploration emphasize the active role of the individual. In addition to this mechanism, we propose a model based on emotions to explain changes in relational identity commitments. To investigate the viability of this model, four individuals (aged 20-22 years) reported daily identity-relevant experiences f…
Identity Strategies Among Adolescent Girls of Moroccan Descent in the Netherlands
Sometimes it is assumed that Moroccan girls in the Netherlands have a problematic adolescence: They are supposed to be caught between two cultures. Adolescence can be seen as the stage of life in which individuals should develop their own identity by exploring different alternatives. Moroccan girls, however, may not have these possibilities for exploration during adolescence; they seem to be restricted in many ways. This article first looks at th…
Fischer's Skill Theory Applied to Identity Development: A Response to Kroger
This article is a reply to Kroger's proposal (this issue) that the identity statuses can be understood as a developmental hierarchy of stages. In our view, research indicates that the content, strength, and structure (or quality) of commitments evidence a huge variety of patterns and developmental pathways. Accordingly, we argue the following: first, that the identity status paradigm is not well suited as a description for developmental stages in…

Family Functioning and Identity Status in Adolescence
In this study the relationship between aspects of family functioning and the achievement of identity in adolescence is investigated. Three family interaction variables, namely, adolescent autonomy, parental attitudes towards adolescent autonomy, and percentage of speaking time of each family member are derived from observation of 27 families (parents and adolescent child) in a problem solving task and related to the adolescent identity status. Id…
