The present article presents a review of identity status-based theory and research with adolescents and emerging adults, with some coverage of related approaches such as narrative identity and identity style. In the first section, we review Erikson’s theory of identity and early identity status research examining differences in personality and cognitive variables across statuses. We then review...

This study investigated the interrelationships among cultural identity, explanatory style, and depression in Navajo adolescents. A total of 332 (197 female, 135 male) Navajo adolescents completed 7 self-report measures. These data were used to create, via structural equation modeling, a series of factor models and full structural models. Analyses indicated that current factor structures for exp...

Using a certification procedure for Abel-type sums, we present a computerized proof of Abel’s identity. Abel’s identity [1],[2] can be proved in many ways, including the elegant combinatorial methods of [3]. Here we present the first computer-generated proof using the methods introduced in [4]. Theorem([1]; [2], p.128). For n ≥ 0:

A lattice path enumeration approach is exploited in order to derive a binomial summation formula for the number of paths in the lattice (0, 1, . . . , d) with start 0 and n steps. This approach reveals multisection style binomial summation identitities and, particularly, a novel relationship between Fibonacci numbers and the Pascal triangle.
