The validity of applying the Marcia identity status paradigm to study of high school students is examined. Uncritical categorization of young adolescents into the identity statuses originally validated upon university students raises various issues. A revised paradigm for study of identity style among high school students is presented. It is suggested that the issues raised-the validity of measures for varying age groups and the role of environmental demands-are related to the eventual formulation of a life-span conceptualization of identity style.
本研究旨在考察将马西亚身份状态范式应用于高中生研究的有效性。不加批判地将青少年不加批判地归入最初在大学生中验证的身份状态会引发各种问题。本文提出了一种修订的高中生身份风格研究范式。研究表明，所提出的问题——针对不同年龄群体的测量方法的有效性以及环境需求的作用——与最终形成身份风格的生命周期概念有关。
