The Effects of Gender and of Family Cohesion and Adaptability on Identity Status

Data on the relationship of identity and perceptions offamily processes are reported. The FACES III Inventory provided measures of perceived cohesion and adaptability of families, while identity statuses were derived from the Ego Identity Interview. Subjects were male and female college students (N = 61). Gender proved to be a major variable, with females perceivingmore cohesion in theirfamilies. Cohesion and adaptability levels were related to identity exploration for males. High-exploring males were more likely to describe their families as both moderately cohesive and moderately adaptive. A breakdown of identity by domains revealed little evidence of exploration by the subjects in pursuit of religious or political identity.
