“…Dependencies between particular dimensions of identity were in line with previous studies conducted with the use of the same measure (e.g. Luyckx, Schwartz, Berzonsky, Soenens, Vansteenkiste, Smits, Goossens, 2008;Luyckx, Duriez, Klimstra, De Witte, 2010;Piotrowski, Brzezińska, 2011;Piotrowski, 2013 -this volume).…”

One of the important determinants of development during the transition to adulthood is the undertaking of social roles characteristic of adults, also in the area of finishing formal education, which usually coincides with beginning fulltime employment. In the study discussed in this paper, it has been hypothesized that continuing full-time education above the age of 26, a phenomenon rarely observed in Poland, can be considered as an unpunctual event that may be connected with difficulties in the process of identity formation. Relationships between identity dimensions and identity statuses, and age and educational context were analyzed. 693 individuals aged 19-35 took part in the study. The participants attended three types of educational institutions: (1) full-time university studies (BA or MA level), (2) part-time university studies (BA or MA level), and (3) full-time post-secondary school (certificate courses such as: medical rescue, massage therapy, cosmetology, occupational therapy). Among the students of full-time university studies predictable dependencies, also in respect of highlevels of indicators of identity crisis and a high frequency of diffused identity occurrence, were observed. Such dependencies were not found in the group of full-time post-secondary school students.

“…The research on self‐sufficiency as a meaningful indicator of pathways of homelessness shows promise. For example, one study found that individuals who endorse higher levels of self‐sufficiency are more likely to engage in exploration of potential educational and/or job opportunities (Piotrowski & Brzezińska, 2011). The concept of self‐sufficiency draws on an individual's strengths, needs, and barriers thereby generating a more holistic and representative view of the person and their service requirements (Fassaert et al, 2014).…”

Limited research exists on the characteristics of individuals experiencing homelessness who achieve positive housing outcomes in rapid re-housing (RRH) interventions. We aimed to identify a typology of homelessness based on Self-Sufficiency Matrix (SSM) domains and examine its relation to sociodemographic characteristics and housing placement through RRH. Homeless Management Information System data, including sociodemographics, SSM domains, and housing outcomes, were obtained for 261 Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program participants in Indianapolis, Indiana, from 2009 to 2012. Latent class analysis (LCA) and latent class regression (LCR) were used to identify subgroups and predict associations between the identified typology and sociodemographic variables and housing placement outcome, respectively. LCA revealed three classes based on SSM domains: "High Self-Sufficiency," "Low Socioeconomic Self-Sufficiency," and "Low Psychosocial Self-Sufficiency." LCR revealed that race significantly predicted class membership such that Black individuals had a significantly higher probability of being in the High Self-Sufficiency class than the other two classes. Latent class membership significantly predicted immediate housing placement. The Low Psychosocial Self-Sufficiency group was the least likely to exit RRH to a permanent housing placement compared to the two other subgroups. Results affirm that individuals with greater All study procedures were approved by the DePaul University Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Identity is a developing and changing concept, reflecting researchers' deepening understanding of its connotation and development process. The development of identity is influenced by the interaction of physiology, psychology and society; many factors often hinder or promote the development of the identity. According to whether the individual has a positive exploration or not, the status of achievement and the status of for closure are distinguished. Identity development is also influenced by the internal motivation of individuals, successful experience can promote the positive development of identity. Parents and peers can work as role models and supportive forces, and also may be a hindrance of identity development. Identity exploration may not be recognized or even lead to individual conflict in some social environment. Individuals who hold different attitudes towards the future show different development processes. If independent development of identity is hindered, it may lead to maladaptive behavior and the developmental crisis.
