Abstract
The relationship between identity status and the structural features of an individual''s personal construct system or self-theory was investigated. Personal constructs relevant to 10 contemporaneous roles (myself as a friend, student, son/daughter, and so on) were elicited from 75 late adolescents who also completed an identity-satus measure. Correlational analyses between identity-status scores and structural features of the self-system revealed a theoretically interpertable pattern of interrelationships. The implications of these findings for future research is considered.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
