Abstract

A new self-report identity inventory was developed that avoids some of the shortcomings of previous measures and offers the advantages of short completion time, objective scoring, and separate, continuous exploration and commitment scores. The Ego Identity Process Questionnaire consists of 32 items which assess the dimensions of exploration and commitment in eight areas: occupation, religion, politics, values, family, friendships, dating, and sex roles. Three samples of college students were utilized. Evidence was presented of moderately high reliability and of construct and concurrent validation via confirmatory factor analysis, association with Marcia's interview, and relationships with personality characteristics.
