A sociometric measure of identity status was developed based on Marcia's (1966) four ordinal levels of ego identity achievement: Identity Achievement, Moratorium, Foreclosure, and Diffusion. Boarding school adolescent boys (N = 197) rated their dormitory mates on each dimension twice with an interval of six months. Results indicate age differences in identity status for young adolescents, identity development associated with time, and a strong relation between adolescent behavior problems and levels of identity status. Efforts to relate identity status to child-rearing values, social problem-solving, stress, health concerns, and independence were inconclusive.
基于玛西亚（1966年）提出的自我认同成就的四个有序水平：认同达成、延缓偿付、早闭和扩散，开发了一种社会计量身份状态测量方法。寄宿学校的青少年男孩（N = 197）在六个维度上对他们的室友进行了两次评分，间隔为六个月。结果表明，青少年在身份状态上存在年龄差异，身份发展与时间相关，并且青少年行为问题与身份状态水平之间存在密切关系。将身份状态与育儿价值观、社会问题解决、压力、健康问题和独立性联系起来的努力尚无定论。
