  • Change Within Stability

    Open AccessHanna Larsson, J Carlsson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2026

    INTRODUCTION: Longitudinal studies examining identity development in adulthood are scarce, and little is known about the processes through which a stable identity is maintained or revised. This study addresses these gaps by examining (a) longitudinal patterns of identity status development from emerging through established adulthood and (b) processes of continued identity development among individuals who are stable in committed identity statuses…

  • Ethnic‐racial identity in Sweden

    Open AccessTommy Reinholdsson, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2026

    This study examines ethnic-racial identity (ERI) among majority and minority adolescents in Sweden, focusing on the dimensionality and measurement invariance of ERI subscales, and how the ERI dimensions across these subscales relate to psychosocial adjustment. Using data from 665 Swedish adolescents, we assessed the structure and invariance of six ERI subscales commonly used in ERI research via confirmatory factor analysis. Most subscales showed …

  • The GoLDen Method

    Open AccessAnn Frisén, Maria Wängqvist et al.ARTICLEIdentity2026

    As the field of identity research matures and deepens, it is crucial that we engage methodological approaches that fully capture the theoretical richness of identity outlined by Erikson and others. The purpose of the current article is to describe the lessons learned and insights gained through the Gothenburg Longitudinal Study of Development (GoLD), a 38-year long-longitudinal mixed methods study of development conducted in Sweden. The article i…

  • Positive Ethnic Identity Content Among Adolescents With Minority Ethnic Backgrounds Living in Sweden

    Open AccessPär D Stern, Sofia Berne et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2026Referências: 61

    Previous research on adolescents with minority ethnic backgrounds has often centered on risks and vulnerabilities due to the effects of racism in society. This however leaves a gap in the literature when it comes to positive aspects of ethnic identity, and the gap is even more pronounced when it comes to European contexts since the few previous studies have largely been performed in the United States. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explor…

  • Psychosocial and academic outcomes of an ethnic‐racial identity intervention in Sweden

    Open AccessAmina K Abdullahi, Linda Juang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025Referências: 17

    Despite indications of positive associations between ethnic-racial identity and youth adjustment in ethno-racially diverse European contexts, little is known about how to effectively support ethnic-racial identity development through intervention to elicit such desirable outcomes. This longitudinal preregistered study examined whether a school-based intervention, the Identity Project, impacted psychosocial and academic adjustment through the ethn…

  • Who Benefits Most? Personality Traits as Predictors of Identity Intervention Outcomes in Adolescence

    Open AccessDavid J Sandberg, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2025Referências: 84

    Interventions focused on adolescents’ identity development have shown promising results, but questions remain as to which adolescents benefit most from them. This preregistered study examined how personality traits (Big Five domains and higher-order meta-traits) moderate adolescents’ responsiveness to the Identity Project, a school-based intervention supporting ethnic-racial identity development. A total of 509 adolescents from 22 classrooms in t…

  • Finding one's Occupational Path - Identity Content in Repeated Narratives Across Early Adulthood

    Open AccessCaroline Järdmo, Py Liv Eriksson et al.ARTICLEIdentity2025Referências: 49

    Early adulthood comprises an important period for occupational identity development; therefore, the aim of this study is to understand which occupational experiences continue to be a stable part of the narrative identity across early adulthood. In interviews with 59 individuals about their occupational identity at ages 25, 29, and 33, 544 narratives and 142 sets of repeated narratives were found. A thematic narrative analysis of the repeated narr…

  • Different contexts – different stories

    Open AccessDavid J Sandberg, Sofia Berne et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2024

    Ethnicity plays a significant role in adolescents' everyday lives, but there is a limited understanding of adolescents' own experiences with how ethnicity is addressed in different contexts. Three contexts of importance during adolescence are investigated in the present study: schools, social media, and sports. A closer contextual examination has the potential to provide insights into how multiple contexts shape experiences with ethnicity. The ai…

  • Facing Challenging Experiences in Life – Narrative Identity Development Processes and Associations with Wellbeing During the Transition to Midlife

    Open AccessPy Liv Eriksson, Ann FrisénARTICLEIdentity2024

    This study investigates identity development in narratives of difficult experiences and associations with wellbeing in the transition to midlife.The narrative processes of emotional sequencing (i.e.emotional tone of how people frame their experiences: redemptive, neutral/vague, negative, and a combination of positive and negative) and positive and negative impact on the identity (i.e.how people perceive the impact of the narrated event) were exam…

  • Evaluating a School-Based Intervention on Adolescents’ Ethnic-racial Identity in Sweden

    Open AccessAmina K Abdullahi, Moin Syed et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2024Citada por: 4Referências: 42

    Finding developmentally appropriate ways to support youth in understanding their own ethnic-racial identity is needed, particularly in contexts like Sweden where such support is not the norm. This preregistered longitudinal study examined whether an 8-week school-based intervention, the Identity Project, impacted youth ethnic-racial identity exploration (participation and search), resolution, private regard, and centrality. Participants were 509 …

  • Ethnic-Racial Identity and Attitude Change

    Open AccessDavid J Sandberg, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2024Citada por: 5Referências: 65

    Outgroup and diversity attitudes are important components of intercultural understanding and well-being. Despite the potential of ethnic-racial identity development as a means to foster positive outgroup and diversity attitudes, little is known about its effectiveness in rapidly diversifying contexts such as Sweden. This pre-registered study filled this gap by examining if adolescents taking part in an intervention focused on ethnic-racial identi…

  • Framing Ethnicity in Initial Teacher Education

    Open AccessAmina K Abdullahi, Sofia Berne et al.ARTICLEIdentity2024Citada por: 5Referências: 46

    This study aimed to explore how student teachers experienced the framing of ethnicity in initial teacher education in Sweden. Ten focus group discussions were conducted (N = 42; 21% minoritized ethnic background). An inductive thematic analysis was used. The findings showed that ethnicity was framed as mainly concerning "others" and that it was framed as sensitive. The current framing of ethnicity suggests that initial teacher education does not …

  • Experiences of romantic relationships among early adults who do not turn to their long‐term partner when in need of love and support

    Open AccessCaroline Järdmo, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2023

    As most early adults in long‐term romantic relationships rely on their partner to fulfill their relational needs, relationships with romantic partners are very important to many people at this time of life. However, there is a group of individuals for whom their long‐term partner is not the most important person when they need love and support. This study explored experiences of romantic relationships among early adults who do not turn to their l…

  • Ethnic-racial identity in Europe

    Open AccessLinda Juang, Adriana J Umaña‐taylor et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Developmental…2022Citada por: 18Referências: 18

    A global challenge for developmental psychology is to better understand how young people around the world make sense of their identities growing up in pluralistic societies. The study of ethnic-racial identity provides an important lens for this process. This paper describes how five European countries (Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, and Sweden) adapted the Identity Project, an 8-week school-based intervention originally developed in the United …

  • Dual-centric work/family identity in young adults

    Open AccessYlva Svensson, Ann FrisénARTICLESelf and Identity2021

    Open AccessPy Liv Eriksson, Kate C Mclean et al.ARTICLEIdentity2020

    This study investigates the nature of narrating experiences of difficult life events among Swedish young adults. We use the master narrative cultural framework to understand how narratives of difficult experiences are told. Building on extant work on the importance of the narration of difficult life events for identity and wellbeing, we examine how these stories are narrated in the Swedish context in relation to well-being. Identity narratives ab…

  • “It’s a New Chapter Now”

    Open AccessHanna Larsson, Py Liv Eriksson et al.ARTICLEIdentity2020

  • “Being Stuck between Two Worlds” – Identity Configurations of Occupational and Family Identities

    Open AccessFanny Gyberg, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEIdentity2019

    Most research on identity has focused on either identity processes or identity content, neglecting how individuals structure their identities. We investigated how individuals negotiated their sometimes conflicting multiple identifications of work and family into different types of workable identity configurations. We also examined differences across configurations in the gender distribution, degree of conflict, and life satisfaction. Through a mi…

  • Identity and the body

    Sarah C Nelson, Johanna Kling et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2018Citada por: 10Referências: 5

    Although Erikson (1968) originally conceptualized identity development as a process of becoming at home in one's body, little work has been done linking identity development and research on the body. This study examines how trajectories of the development of body esteem over time are related to young people's sense of identity and psychological functioning in a longitudinal sample from age 10 to 24 (N = 967). Using group-based trajectory modeling…

  • Identity Status, Gender, and Social Comparison Among Young Adults

    Fanny Gyberg, Ann FrisénARTICLEIdentity2017
