This study drew on two approaches to identity formation, each postulating differing but complementary exploration components (style and competence), in an effort to better understand the identity exploration process. The sample for this study (n=215) was socio-demographically diverse with respect to gender, age, ethnicity and setting, with participants drawn from two universities in two differe...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and convergent and discriminant validity of scores on an Italian translation of the Revised Identity Style Inventory (ISI-5) with samples of 237 adolescents (50 males, M age = 18.04, SD = .86) and 268 university students (42 males, M age = 22.71, SD = 3.70). Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that a three-factor solution provide...

Gender composition of VCs shapes the members’ communication style and content, and has a potential in influencing the anticipated benefits from VC participation. Extending prior research on VC participation and group composition, this study examines the moderating effect of gender composition in influencing the linkage between two important identity-based determinants, i.e., identification and ...

We introduce the notion of identity coercions between non-indexed and indexed variants of inductive datatypes, such as lists and vectors. An identity coercion translates one type to another such that the coercion function definitionally reduces to the identity function. This allows us to reuse vector programs to derive list programs (and vice versa), without any runtime cost. This also allows u...

Abstract Moral identity is an important self-concept. Taking a social cognitive perspective, we propose integrative framework to examine the relationships between moral and its antecedents, including demographic variables, personality traits, organizational contexts (specifically leadership style ethical climate). An analysis of effect sizes in 110 studies involving 44,441 participants shows th...
