Identity development in the late twenties - a longitudinal study

Carlsson, Johanna,1985Gothenburg University,Göteborgs universitet,Psykologiska institutionen,Department of Psychology (författare)

Identity status interviews were performed with 124 Swedish young adults (63 women) at age 25 and 29. About half of the participants (n=63) were assigned to the same identity status at both interview occasions. Special focus was how the identity of the 55 participants assigned to the same status at both times, with established identity commitments (achieved-achieved or foreclosure-foreclosure), evolved over time. Thematic analysis on summaries of differences and similarities between these participant’s interviews indicated that the identity continues to evolve over time and that inability to evolve result in dissonance between the identity narrative and the actual life situation.
