“…Consistent with the linkage between limited parental knowledge and low levels of supervision to problem behavior (Dishion & McMahon, 1998;Patterson & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1984), diffuse-avoidance has been found to be associated with increased risk for a variety of difficulties and problem behaviors, including depressive reactions (Nurmi, Berzonsky, Tammi, Kinney, 1997), neuroticism (Dollinger, 1995), eating disorders (Wheeler, Adams, & Keating, 2001), conduct disorders , delinquency (White & Jones, 1996), and work-and alcohol-related problems (Jones, Ross, & Hartmann, 1992).…”

This study aimed to generalize and extend research on identity styles among early adolescents in the Netherlands. The study investigated associations between perceived parent-adolescent relations and identity-processing styles among 13-year-old adolescents and the role identity styles played in mediating relationships between parent-adolescent relations and the identity commitments early adolescents held and the levels of self-regulation they exercised. Associations between perceived parent-adolescent relations and a normative style were positive and those with a diffuse-avoidant style were negative. Parental information solicitation was related to informationstyle scores. All three styles were related to identity commitments and selfregulation. Linkages with the normative style were positive and those with the diffuse-avoidant style negative. An informational identity style was associated positively with commitment but negatively with self-regulation. The relationship between adolescents' perceptions of open parental communication and their levels of identity commitment was partially mediated by a normative style. The role parent-adolescent relations may play in developing identity processes and self-regulation during early adolescence is considered.

Background: Assessment of healthcare students' mental health problems is an important aspect of health promotion. This study examined the roles of moral intelligence (MI) and identity styles in prediction of mental health problems in healthcare students. Methods: In a correlation study, two hundred healthcare students (100 girls, 100 boys) of Medicine, Density, and Paramedicine Colleges of Bobol University of Medical Sciences were selected. The subjects filled out three questionnaires; General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Moral Competency Inventory (MCI), and Identity Style Inventory (ISI), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). Pearson correlation, multivariate analysis variance model (MANOVA), and multivariate regression used to analyze the data. Results: Boys and girls did not have a meaningful difference in the mean of total GHQ, MCI, normative and informational identity. Girls had significantly higher mean level of diffused-avoidant identity than boys. There was a positive and significant relationship between moral intelligence, normative identity and mental health problems of students. Also, there was a negative relationship (p < 0.05) between diffused-avoidant identity and mental health problems of students. Moral intelligence, informational and normative identity predicted 25.8% of the variance in mental health problems for girls' students. Normative and diffused-avoidant identity predicted 21.6% of the variance in mental health problems for girls' students. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that moral intelligence and identity status contributed to the mental health problems of health-* Corresponding author. M. Faramarzi et al. 665 care students.

“…Normative inmates were characterized by their "relatively late involvement with drugs and the criminal system" (p. 490). In another study, Jones, Ross, and Hartmann (1992) found identity styles to correlate with work-and alcohol-related problems among recently enlisted naval personnel. They found military personnel with a diffuse orientation to report more (and more serious) work-and alcohol-related problems, whereas those with information and normative orientations were likely to report more healthy and adaptive behaviors.…”

According to Erik Erikson, identity is an important precursor to the satisfaction that one gains from intimate relationships during adulthood. Identity styles refer to the processes by which individuals construct and reconstruct their personal identity or sense of self. Berzonsky identified the following three identity styles (orientations): information orientation, characterized by exploration, evaluation, and use of self-relevant information; normative orientation, characterized by conformity to the expectations of significant others; and diffuse orientation, characterized by procrastination and avoidance. This study assessed the degree to which similarity in identity styles contributes to marital satisfaction among recently married couples (N = 84 couples). Analyses indicate that (a) men report greater marital satisfaction than women, (b) couples with similar identity styles report greater marital satisfaction than couples with dissimilar identity styles, and (c) women's reports of marital satisfaction are more influenced (than men) by similarity of identity style.According to Erikson (1963), psychosocial development follows a planned course whereby individuals are guided by a universal pattern of growth that proceeds sequentially through eight developmental stages. Identity versus role confusion, Erikson's fifth stage, is thought to occur during late adolescence and/or early adulthood. Knowing who one is in relation to others is key to the process of identity formation, where one attempts to construct a coherent sense of self that embodies physiological, psychological, and social-emotional attributes. In other words, adolescents must strive to attain a sense of harmony between what they think of themselves, their perceptions of what others expect them to be(come), and what they will reveal to others to achieve a healthy sense of identity. For many, the process is complex.As individuals enter adulthood, they begin to face the challenge of establishing intimate relationships with others (Erikson's [1963] sixth psychosocial task). This is a time when two individuals are eager and willing to share thoughts and behaviors that seem to provide a sense or definition for who they are, or in Erikson's (1963) words, to "fuse [one's] iden-
