同一性风格:青少年自我同一性研究的新视角

Identity Style:A New Perspective on Adolescents' Ego Identity Study

近年来,自我同一性问题的研究由关注同一性状态转向关注同一性风格。同一性风格是指个体在建立与维持同一性时表现出的社会认知策略方面的偏好,包括信息风格、规范风格和扩散/逃避风格。研究者围绕同一性风格与社会认知加工策略、人格、家庭环境、心理健康、学业表现等方面关系展开了丰富的研究。未来的研究方法和被试样本应该更加多样化,跨文化比较研究及干预性研究也有待进一步开展。

In recent years,the focus of empirical research on ego identity has been turned from identity status to identity style.Identity style refers to reported preferences in the social-cognitive strategies used to engage or to avoid the tasks of constructing and maintaining a sense of identity,including the information style,the normative style,and the diffuse/avoidant style.Numerous investigations have examined the linkages between identity style and social-cognitive processing strategies,personality,parenting,well-being,academic performance,etc.More diverse samples and measures are needed in future research.Cross-cultural comparisons and interventions also need further development.
