This study examined identity development in a 5-wave study of 923 early-to-middle and 390 middle-to-late adolescents thereby covering the ages of 12-20. Systematic evidence for identity progression was found: The number of diffusions, moratoriums, and searching moratoriums (a newly obtained status) decreased, whereas the representation of the high-commitment statuses (2 variants of a [fore]closed identity: "early closure" and "closure," and achievement) increased. We also found support for the individual difference perspective: 63% of the adolescents remained in the same identity status across the 5 waves. Identity progression was characterized by 7 transitions: diffusion→moratorium, diffusion→early closure, moratorium→closure, moratorium→achievement, searching moratorium→closure, searching moratorium→achievement, and early closure→achievement.
这项研究通过对 923 名早中期青少年和 390 名中晚期青少年进行的 5 波研究，考察了身份发展。该研究涵盖了 12 至 20 岁的年龄范围。系统证据表明身份发展取得了进展：扩散、暂停和搜索暂停（新获得的状态）的数量减少，而高承诺状态（“早期封闭”和“封闭”这两种[预先]封闭身份以及成就的 2 个变体）的代表增加。我们还发现了个体差异视角的支持：63%的青少年在 5 波内保持相同的身份状态。身份发展的特点是 7 种转变：扩散→暂停，扩散→早期封闭，暂停→封闭，暂停→成就，搜索暂停→封闭，搜索暂停→成就，以及早期封闭→成就。
