Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate the psychological content of the quarter-life crisis as an identity crisis in a national sample. The authors formed a sample of 40 people aged 18 to 28 years old, who sought psychologi-cal help and were studying in higher education programs; the presence of a request for psychological help was considered as a possible manifestation of the quarter-life crisis. The obtained empirical results were subjected to cluster analysis, according to the results of which clusters were distinguished using identity statuses. Moreo-ver, the results convincingly demonstrate the presence of the identity crisis at different stages of its passage. It is shown that the quarter-life crisis is indeed a normative identity crisis, with adult identity being its main new formation.
