What Transits in an Identity Status Transition: A Rejoinder to Commentaries |
| |
Abstract: | This reply reviews main themes which formed the framework for my introductory article and then responds to the following general issues which appeared across commentaries from the four groups of contributors: the nature of any intrapsychic structures underlying Marcia's (1966) identity statuses, the developmental sequence of such structures, and the relation of structure to context. I conclude with suggestions for both broadening and refining lenses for the study of ego identity status development both during and beyond the years of late adolescence. |
