Gender and identity status differences in late adolescents' possible selves
Article Abstract:
Identity status determines the manner in which an individual referred to relationships when asked to describe one's self. A study conducted to determine the gender and identity status differences in late adolescents' possible selves revealed that there is no relationship between the two and the findings are highly reliable although the relationship between the two had a small effect size.
