IDENTITY STATUS AND IDENTITY STYLE - A REPLICATION STUDY

Seventy-four initial teacher preparation students completed a questionnaire assessing identity status development and identity style. A factor analysis using all of the EOM-EIS subscales and the four Identity Style subscales yielded five factors that explained 76.0% of the variability in the correlation matrix. Collectively, findings paralleled those of Berzonsky's (1988) work and support theoretical speculation concerning the process of identity formation. © 1993 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolcscents.
