  • Barriers to Ego Identity status formation: a contextual qualification of Marcia's Identity status paradigm.
    Journal of adolescence, 2000
    Co-Authors: Amy E. Yoder
    Abstract:

    Abstract While many psychological, sociological and educational researchers acknowledge that Ego Identity formation is a socially embedded process, others have found that Identity research often focuses, almost exclusively, on internal psychological development. The concept of “barriers” provides a means by which to describe external influences associated with adolescent and young adult Ego Identity exploration and commitment processes which affect and possibly limit individual developmental options. Based on Erikson's assumption that Ego Identity formation involves both personal growth and communal change, the barriers qualification expands upon Marica's Identity status paradigm to more accurately reflect socio-cultural variables which may have impact upon individual internal psychological function.

  • Ego Identity Status,"Big Five"Personality and Causality Orientation in University Students
    Psychological development and education, 2010
    Co-Authors: Chen Hui-chang
    Abstract:

    Individual characteristics have important influence on college students’Identity formation. This study aimed to investigate the relations among personality,causality orientation and Ego Identity status in university students by SEM,especially exploring the individual internal mechanism of Ego Identity formation. 536 university students from freshman to senior participated in the questionnaire investigation. The results indicated: (1) both "big five"personality and causality orientation had strongly effect on university students’Ego Identity statuses, which can greatly explain the difference of university students’Ego Identity statuses,especially the Identity achievement status and Identity diffusion status. (2) causality orientation mediated the relation between"big five"personality and Ego Identity status in university students.

  • the function of wisdom dimensions in Ego Identity development among chinese university students
    International Journal of Psychology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Hyeyoung Bang, Yuchun Zhou
    Abstract:

    This study investigates the relationship between wisdom and Ego-Identity among university students in China. Using Marcia's Ego-Identity statuses and Ardelt's wisdom dimensions as the theoretical and conceptual framework, the study investigates 356 university students in China. After exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, four factors from wisdom and five factors from Ego-Identity were retrieved. A structural equation model was then conducted to analyse the relationships. The findings were: (1) among wisdom dimensions, cognitive, and reflective wisdom, especially perspective-taking best predicted achievement, (2) all three dimensions of wisdom predicted moratorium, but reflective wisdom was the most pronounced predictor, (3) all three dimensions of wisdom predicted diffusion, but resentment items from reflective wisdom were the most pronounced predictors, and (4) gender was a significant predictor of Ego-Identity achievement and diffusion. These findings suggest that efforts to build reflective wisdom might contribute to healthier Ego-Identity formation.

  • Wisdom and Ego-Identity for Korean and American Late Adolescents:
    Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Hyeyoung Bang, Diane Montgomery
    Abstract:

    Overcoming Identity crises during adolescence may help adolescents understand the world around them. Although adolescents may have developmental potential for wisdom, little is known about the direct relationship between wisdom and Ego-Identity or any cross-cultural effects. Wisdom dimensions (cognitive, affective, and reflective) and Ego-Identity statuses (achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and diffusion) among 639 Korean and American late adolescents (aged 18 to 22) were investigated. The findings suggest that (a) age contributes to reflective wisdom, (b) Identity achievement associates with wisdom among Korean but not among American adolescents, and (c) foreclosure and diffusion statuses are negatively associated with wisdom. This highlights school curriculum trends and emphasizes reflective wisdom for holistic adolescent development. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution.

  • The role of Ego-Identity status in mating preferences.
    Adolescence, 2005
    Co-Authors: Curtis S. Dunkel, Dennis R. Papini
    Abstract:

    This study was designed to examine the role Ego-Identity plays in the mating preferences of late adolescents. In addition to examining the variance in mating preferences explained by Ego-Identity status, it was hoped that the results could assist in testing the competing Sexual Strategies (Buss & Schmitt, 1993) and Social Role (Eagly & Wood, 1999) theories. Ego-Identity and the sex of the participant accounted for a significant amount of variance in the number of sexual partners desired and the penchant for short-term mating. The sex of the participant was the lone predictor of the importance placed on the mate characteristics of physical attractiveness and earning capacity with females placing more emphasis on the former and males placing more emphasis on the latter characteristic.
