Los contextos y relaciones de los que forman parte los/as adolescentes tienen una fuerte influencia en la forma en que se imaginan a sí mismos en el futuro (posibles sí mismos, PSs). Las actividades que realizan los/as jóvenes son uno de los entornos más relevantes de los que participan. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre las experiencias positivas en las actividades de disfrute y los PSs de los/as adolescentes. Participaron 276 adolescentes de ambos sexos (mujeres = 61.6%, edad Medad = 15.32; SD = 1.31) que asistían a escuelas de enseñanza media del Área Metropolitana Bonaerense. Para estudiar el contenido de los PSs se analizaron los PSs deseados y temidos generados espontáneamente por los/as adolescentes en el Cuestionario de Posibles Sí Mismos. Se efectuó un análisis de contenido temático de las respuestas y se estimó el porcentaje de sujetos que mencionó cada categoría. Para medir la valencia de los PSs (i.e., la probabilidad percibida de tener PSs positivos después de terminar el secundario) se utilizó la Escala de Percepción de Sí Mismo en el Futuro. Para conocer las experiencias en las actividades de disfrute se utilizaron la Escala de Disfrute en la Actividad y la Escala de Sentido de Realización Personal. Para conocer la relación entre las experiencias de disfrute y las características de los PSs de los adolescentes se realizaron pruebas t de Student, regresiones logísticas binarias, correlaciones de Pearson y regresiones. Se controló el efecto del género en las relaciones estudiadas. Se encontró que las actividades de disfrute se relacionan con el contenido, valencia y diversidad de los PSs. Asimismo, el afecto positivo fue el tipo de experiencia en la actividad con mayor asociación con los PSs. Estos resultados permiten pensar nuevas formas de intervenir. Principalmente, es importante impulsar a los/as adolescentes a encontrar aquellas actividades que les brindan experiencias de disfrute, así como también promover el disfrute en las actividades en las que suelen participar.

“…Although awareness of self has its foundations in early childhood, adolescence is identified as the developmental period in which a coherent sense of self is formed [4]. Without developing a cohesive sense of identity in adolescence, milestones like establishing intimate relationships in early adulthood, instigating generative projects in midlife, and growing old with a sense of integrity and accomplishment will likely be out of reach [5].…”

Positive identity is essential to adolescents’ well-being and a successful transition to adulthood. Understanding factors that contribute to identity formation is important to promote healthy development. The present study applies the Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework to explore associations between adult social support and positive identity among Norwegian high school students (N = 220, Mage = 17.30, SD = 1.12). Reflecting on the ecology of adolescence, the study examined the extent to which family, other significant adults, and school support relate to different dimensions of positive identity (personal power, self-esteem, sense of purpose, and positive view of future). Further, the hierarchy of importance among the support variables was investigated. Cross-sectional data on items measuring the different dimensions of social support and positive identity were analyzed. Findings from regression analyses indicated that adult support in all three ecological contexts (family, neighborhood, and school) was significantly and positively related to positive identity and at least one of its four dimensions (β = 0.15–0.27, p < 0.05). Support from other significant adults emerged as the most important predictor, followed by family and then school support. While future research should also consider support accessed through social media, our findings extend PYD scholarship in the Norwegian context by highlighting the importance of key youth ecological contexts when fostering positive youth identity.

“…Identity formation is a central psychosocial developmental task during adolescence and continues throughout life (Branje, de Moor, Spitzer, & Becht, 2021). Furthermore, Erikson stated the dynamics of identity formation as described by identity achievement and identity confusion (Montgomery, 2020). Identity achievement occurs when adolescents determine what they are, how they are, and the goals they want to achieve.…”

“…Individuals who achieve a coherent identity tend to have positive psychosocial development such as having a positive self-concept (Morsünbül, Crocetti, Cok, & Meeus, 2016), meaningful life (Schwartz et al, 2015), life satisfaction (Morsünbül, 2013;Piotrowski, 2018;Ritchie et al, 2013;Sugimura et al, 2015), and tend to engage in helping behavior (Crocetti, Benish-Weisman, & McDonald, 2020;Nelson & Padilla-Walker, 2013). On the contrary, identity confusion occurs when adolescents cannot determine goals and commitment to various identity choices considered the basis of individual adult identity (Montgomery, 2020). Individuals who experience identity confusion show psychosocial developmental deviations such as…”

Identity formation is an adolescent developmental task that continues throughout life. Its process cannot be separated from the role of the significant person for adolescents, including siblings. Therefore, this study aims to examine the identification process (modeling and de-identification) as a mediator in the relationship between sibling relationships in identity formations commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment. Four hundred adolescents aged 12-21 years participated in this study. The Indonesian version of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS), the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (SRQ), and the Sibling Influence Scale (SIS) were used to measure identity formation, sibling relationship quality, and identification process. Data analysis was performed using regression analysis and the Sobel test. The results showed that the identification process could be a mediator between the quality of sibling relationships and identity formation. Also, the differences in quality among siblings lead adolescents to take different paths of the identification process, modeling, or de-identification, which impact the process of identity formation differences. Adolescents involved in modeling can learn and imitate older siblings to achieve an optimal identity. On the other hand, adolescents involved in de-identification find it more difficult and experience more challenges in achieving an optimal identity
