“…Compared with individuals in the identity achievement status, these individuals felt less competent and autonomous in their everyday lives, which could explain why they did not put as much effort into personalized identity searches as achieved individuals did. Our results demonstrated that this lack of exploratory investment was accompanied by commitments that were less strong and less identified with (Luyckx, Schwartz, et al, 2008). Individuals in diffused diffusion, however, scored relatively low on the three needs and, probably as a result of these lowered scores, were not able to proactively tackle the identity issues they were confronted with.…”

The fulfillment of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness as postulated within self-determination theory was hypothesized to play an energizing role in identity formation, conceptualized as multiple dimensions of exploration and commitment. Two studies among high school and college students (N ϭ 714) were conducted to investigate (a) the cross-sectional relationships between need satisfaction and the identity dimensions and (b) the direction of effects using cross-lagged analyses. Three competing longitudinal models were tested: a need satisfaction main-effects model, an identity main-effects model, and a reciprocal effects model. All 3 needs had meaningful relationships with the identity dimensions, and, although there was a predominance of paths from the needs to the identity dimensions, the reciprocal effects model received most support. Further, identity statuses (representing multivariate combinations of the identity dimensions) were meaningfully related to satisfaction of the 3 needs, with identity achievement scoring highest on all 3 indices of need satisfaction. Suggestions for future research and counseling implications are discussed.

“…Third group consists of personality variables linked with the development of identity statuses, i.e. : temporal orientations towards a preferred lifestyle and adulthood statuses compatible with Luyckx's and co. concept (Luyckx et al 2008). The studies have been conducted in four phases on different, independent subject groups.…”

Procrastination as putting off until tomorrow what one had intended to do today is well-known tendency in everyday life. In an attempt to understand the character of procrastination in different life-domains, a large body of research has been accumulated over the last decades. This article was aimed to evaluate a specific decisional procrastination of school-to-work transition (SWT) that is treated as maturity postponement. Two studies are reported examining SWT procrastination defined as career indecision among Polish students graduating universities. In Study 1 (N=366), attitudinal and identity statuses were analyzed as correlates of career procrastination. A path analysis conducted for the model, which was aimed to explain the influence of career self-efficacy and occupational commitment on career indecision (dependent variable), revealed its very good fitness (RMSEA=.000). Those two independent variables explain 10% of career indecision variance. Stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain relationship of five identity statuses (Brzezińska, Piotrowski, 2010) to procrastination measure (career indecision) showed that Commitment Making and Ruminative Exploration are strongest predictor variables. In study 2 (N=157), the stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain the independent relationship of each of Big Five personality factor revealed that Neuroticism and Extraversion accounts of the most of explained variance of school-to-work transition procrastination.

“…The Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS) is a questionnaire developed by researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium (Luyckx, Schwartz, Berzonsky et al, 2008) and adapted to Polish conditions by Anna I. Brzezińska and Konrad Piotrowski (Brzezińska & Piotrowski, 2010a). It measures five dimensions of identity functioning in the Dual-Cycle Model of Identity Formation: exploration in breadth, exploration in depth, ruminative exploration, commitment making, and identification with commitment.…”
