Abstract

ABSTRACT Research on adolescent identity and negative adaptations has progressed considerably in the past few years. A significant body of work casts additional light on the role identity plays in development and how this process is related to negative developmental outcomes. The articles assembled for this Special Issue represent a broad cross-section of studies that help illuminate how identity scholars approach the topic of identity formation conceptually and how they elaborate the psychological mechanisms through which identity influences deviant adaptations. In this commentary, we provide a brief overview of identity and its relations to deviant adaptations. We then highlight the key themes in the articles including a discussion of some of the conceptual and methodological challenges faced by identity researchers.

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
