Description

<p>We examined adolescent identity formation from the perspective of self formation, focused on agentic and individual formations of the self. Specifically, we tested a hypothetical model that self-formation activities at a specific level would influence identity formation (EPSI synthesis and EPSI diffusion) through one's time perspective (goal orientation and occupational career autonomy). In the preliminary study the Self-Formation Activity Scale was developed, and the results using factor analysis revealed that the Self-Formation Activity Scale has four factors: extension of interests and concerns, extension of relationships, achievement of future goals, and future anxiety. We tested the hypothetical model using these four scores and found out that self-formation activities at a specific level did not influence identity formation directly, but influenced it indirectly through time perspective at an abstract or general level. The predicted model was confirmed despite some small direct effects on identity formation from self-formation activities.</p>
