XX amžiaus pabaigoje tapatumo problematika socialinių mokslų literatūroje labai plačiai nagrinėjama. Užtenka pažvelgti į psichologijos literatūros šaltinių duomenų bazes PsychLit arba PsychInfo, kad įsitikintume, jog labai nedaugelis sąvokų paskutinio XX amžiaus dešimtmečio psichologijos literatūroje pasitaiko dažniau nei sąvoka identity. Tai nestebina - vis greitėjantys pokyčiai, vis mažėjantis pasaulis nepaliaujamai aštrina pagrindinį identiteto klausimą - "Kas aš esu?"Iš lietuvių psichologų pirmasis šią problematiką ėmė nagrinėti ilgus metus JAV dirbęs ir gyvenęs Pikūnas (1990, 1994; Pikūnas ir Palujanskienė, 2000), tačiau pastaraisiais metais pasirodė ir daugiau darbų šia tema (Antinienė, 1999; Vaičiulienė, 1999a, 1999b). Lietuviai psichologai, atlikdami tapatumo problematikos tyrinėjimus, remiasi Eriko Eriksono (1968) teorija ir James Marcia (1967, 1966, 1980; Marcia, Waterman, Matteson, Archer ir Orlofsky, 1993) sukurta ego identiteto būvių paradigma. RELATION SHIPS AMONG IDENTITY STATUSES AND SOCIAL ADAPTATION AT SCHOOL INDICES Visvaldas Lekauskas Summary Research report on relationship between ego identity and aspects of social functioning at school is presented. Subjects were 110 Lithuanian 12-th graders, 46 male and 64 female. For the assessment of identity status the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status, final revision (EOMEIS-2) developed by Adams, Bennion, and Huh (1989) was translated into Lithuanian language. Self-report Subjective Social Well-Being Scale and Problem Behavior Scale completed by teachers, as well as popularity in class, served as functioning in school indices and also as a criteria for predictive validation of the EOMEIS-2. EOMEIS showed satisfactory reliability and construct and criterion validity. Ideological moratoriums were more popular than ideological achievers. Interpersonally committed statuses had better subjective social adaptation than interpersonally non-committed statuses. Interpersonal diffusions and foreclosures displayed less problem behaviors than interpersonal moratoriums and achievers.

Career Options

Background: Medical students encounter a variety of experiences that have an impact on their emerging professional identity. Clerkship, in particular, presents opportunities for students to consider their career options and decide upon a career path. The process of developing their professional identity begins well before clerkship, however. Anecdotal evidence suggests that interests in medicine begin as early as childhood. This study retrospectively examines the decision-making process clerks make in choosing medicine as a career.Methods: A total of 76 clerks (36 male, 34 female, 6 not reported) responded to four open-ended and two follow-up questions that measure career interests and pursuits. Questions addressed when and how students developed interests in medicine and alternate careers before beginning medical school. An additional eight closed questions drawn from the Ego Status Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status II (EOM-EIS-II) were administered. Content analyses and inter-rater reliability analyses were conducted to classify students according to Marcia’s1  four ego identity statuses.Results: Having obtained high inter-rater consistency (Cohen’s Kappa coefficient of 0.92), responses to the open-ended questions resulted in the classification of three identity statuses. In total, 49.3% of students were in the ‘achieved’ (high exploration and commitment to choices) status and 48.1% were in the ‘foreclosed’ (low exploration but high commitment to choices) status. A small percentage (1.3%) of students were in the ‘moratorium’category (high exploration but low commitment to choices), while none of the students were in the ‘diffused’ (low exploration and low commitment to choices) category.Conclusions: With approximately half of the students demonstrating a ‘foreclosed’ status, this study reveals that despite exposure to a variety of careers when attending university, only half of the students had seriously pursued a career outside of medicine. The majority of students, moreover, developed an interest in medicine before adulthood, and did so independently from parental influence.

The Impact

Identity and self-esteem are important concepts in the development and understanding of individual's self-perception. Perceptions and opinions of significant others influence the construction of adolescents' representations of self and the formation of identity, which, in turn, can be a strong predictor of self-esteem. The significance of our research is reflected in the examination of subjective choices and commitment to roles, values and goals in the domains of religion, occupation, politics and relationships, which can all affect self-esteem. Hence, this paper aims to examine the relationship between identity and self-esteem, more precisely, the impact of identity on self-esteem. The study involved 487 adolescents who completed two questionnaires: the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOMEIS-2), which contains four statuses: Achievement, Foreclosure, Diffusion identity and Moratorium, and the Self-Liking Self-Competence Scale (SLSC) used for the assessment of self-esteem, consisting of two dimensions: Self-liking and Self-competence. Correlation analysis of four identity statuses and two dimensions of self-esteem showed a positive correlation of Self-competence and Self-liking with Achievement identity, and a negative correlation of the two dimensions of self-esteem with the Foreclosure, Diffusion identity and Moratorium. In order to analyze the influence of identity on self-esteem in more detail, a regression analysis was performed. When it comes to the dimensions of Self-competence and Self-liking, the most significant predictor is Achievement identity, while Moratorium and Foreclosure identity are less impactful predictors, with a negative sign. The results are interpreted in terms of the influence of identity on the level of self-esteem, as well as the importance of support from others, such as parents and peers. Finally, we provide guidelines for further research of the connection between identity, self-esteem and other concepts which play a significant role in the process of developing the concept of self.

Ego Identity Status

O artigo apresenta um estudo sobre condições psicológicas e comportamentos sexuais de adolescentes em condição de vulnerabilidade social. Foram avaliados problemas psicológicos, competências e estados de identidade de 40 adolescentes, 12 a 18 anos, atendidos por um equipamento público de cidade da Baixada Santista (SP), voltado para desenvolvimento integral de jovens através de atividades socioculturais.Avaliação de comportamentos sexuais ocorreu com as meninas da amostra (N=33). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o YSR (Youth Self-Report for Ages 11-18), o EOMEIS-II-II (Extended Objective Measure of the Ego Identity Status) e o QSJ (Questionário de percepções e práticas sobre comportamento sexual em jovens). Resultados indicaram tendências positivas na avaliação de competências e estados de identidade. Resultados de problemas psicológicos distribuíram-se em faixas não clínicas, limítrofes e clínicas. Quase metade das meninas referiu já ter tido relação sexual, início aos 15 e 16 anos, com indicativos de conhecimentos e práticas voltadas à contracepção. Os resultados apontaram para a importância de estraté-gias de apoio cultural para desenvolvimento positivo de adolescentes inseridos em contextos socialmente deficitários.

The Relationship

The purpose of the present study is to analyse the relationship between identity status and self-efficacy. The statistical population included all graduate students employed at the Training Centre of Ayatollah Khatami in the city of Yazd in 2009. The sample consisted of 122 students who were selected by convenience sampling. The chosen research method is descriptive correlational. Bennion and Adams’ Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status and the Self-Efficacy Scale were used for measuring the identity statuses and self-efficacy. The results of this study show that there is a positive significant relationship between achieved identity status, self-efficacy (p < 0.01) and diffused identity; there is a negative significant relationship between diffused identity status and self-efficacy (p < 0.05); and there is a negative significant relationship between foreclosure identity status and self-efficacy (p < 0.01). According to this study, for providing qualified forces, the training centres can employ forces by detecting identity statuses and self-efficacy of volunteers.   Keywords: Identity, identity status, students, self-efficacy.

Background: Experiences that a child or adolescent goes through play a critical role in their development as an individual. To understand the world of adolescents and their mental health and well-being, it would be important to be able to access their experiences. Therefore, an objective measure to assess experiences is necessary. The study aimed to develop a scale to assess experiences and establish their psychometric properties. Materials and methods: My Experiences Scale (MES) is a newly developed 50-item, multiple-choice, self-report measure. Various steps involved in developing the MES and establishing its psychometric properties have been elaborated. The study was carried out across four phases, and the sample consisted of 1,260 school-going children and adolescents. The participants were representative of both genders, a wide age range, and diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Results: MES was found to have good internal consistency (Alpha 0.85) and test–retest reliability (0.96). MES was found to have significant correlations with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and global self-worth. Conclusions: The newly developed experiences scale shows promising psychometric properties and a wide scope for application.

Over Time

This person–centred study investigated the longitudinal patterns of vocational identity development in relation to personality, the development of well–being, gender, nationality and the attended school track among two cohorts of Swiss adolescents in 8th or 9th grade ( N = 269) and in 11th or 12th grade ( N = 230). The results confirmed the existence of four identity statuses, namely, achievement, foreclosure, moratorium and diffusion. Forty–two per cent of students showed progressive patterns of identity development, while 37% remained in their identity status over time. Students with different statuses and status change patterns differed significantly in their personality traits. Higher neuroticism related to the emergence of identity exploration over time, while conscientiousness related to maintaining or achieving a sense of identity commitment in terms of achievement or foreclosure. Controlling for the effects of socio–demographics and personality traits, students who reached or maintained a state characterized by identity clarity and commitment showed a relative increase in life satisfaction, while those entering a state of identity crisis or exploration showed a decrease in life satisfaction.

Initial Item

This study presents a construction and psychometric evaluation of the Religious Identity Status Questionnaire ? RISQ for the assessment of the religious identity status according to Marcia?s ego identity status approach. The initial item pool was generated based on Erikson?s theory of psychosocial development, Marcia?s ego identity status approach and interviews with adolescents and young adults. A factor analysis of the initial item pool was performed on data obtained from a sample of 394 secondary school and university students from Serbia to select items for the questionnaire. Validity of the questionnaire was examined on a sample of 1155 subjects. The results of the CFA suggest that subscales of the RISQ measure four factors corresponding to the identity statuses of Marcia?s model. Correlations with ideological identity subscales of the EOM?EIS?2 suggest the convergent validity of the questionnaire. Configural measurement invariance was established for gender and denominational groups. Metric invariance was established for gender and among orthodox and catholic participants, whereas scalar invariance was established for gender, but not for denominational groups.
