Two hundred fifty adolescents completed measures of name coherence and confusion and of family functioning, and parents completed measures of family functioning.
Facund variability over age and across individuals emerged in personality confusion, however not in singularity coherence. As a result, the exhibit analyzes focused on specification confusion. Changes in adolescent-reported, on the contrary not parent-reported, family functioning were significantly related to changes in identity confusion.
Follow-up analyses suggested that family functioning primarily influences identity confusion in early adolescence, nevertheless that identity confusion begins to exert a retaliated chain reaction in centre adolescence. Exploratory potential expansion compound modeling (LGMM) analyses produced three classes of adolescents based on their baseline values and silver trajectories in identity confusion.
The conceivable for family-strengthening interventions to interest identity system is discussed.
