In a previous issue of this journal, the identity capital model was presented as part of an effort to better understand the relationship between social context and identity formation (Côté, 1996a). The present paper provides an empirical test of that model as it applies to the late-adolescent passage of university students toward adulthood. A series of research questions are explored which reveal the following: (1) concepts used in the model can be reliably measured; (2) significant relationships exist among certain measures of identity capital resources; (3) these resources have significant associations with measures of identity capital acquisition; (4) over 2 years of university, identity capital increases overall for female students (on a measure of adult identity resolution) and for those of lower social class background (on a measure of community identity resolution); and (5) certain resources acquired before attending university are predictors of identity capital acquisition after 2 years of attendance, net of the identity capital with which students begin university.
在本期刊的上一期中，身份资本模型作为更好理解社会背景与身份形成之间关系的努力的一部分被提出（科特，1996a）。本文对该模型进行了实证检验，该模型适用于大学生向成年期的青少年后期过渡阶段。探讨了一系列研究问题，结果如下：（1）模型中使用的概念可以得到可靠测量；（2）身份资本资源的某些测量指标之间存在显著关系；（3）这些资源与身份资本获取的测量指标有显著关联；（4）在大学的两年多时间里，女生（在成人身份解决的测量指标上）和社会阶层背景较低的学生（在社区身份解决的测量指标上）的身份资本总体上有所增加；（5）在入学前获得的某些资源是入学两年后身份资本获取的预测指标，排除了学生入学时已有的身份资本。
