Affective Personality Characteristics Associated with Undergraduate Ego Identity Formation

Marie Dellas

Louise P. Jemigan

Eastern Michigan University

The characteristics involved in ego identity formation in the areas of occupation, religion and politics, and existing gender differences were examined using 144 undergraduates (59 males) and (85 females). The Dellas Identity Status Inventory-Occupation, -Religious Beliefs, and -Political Ideology (three objective scales) assessed identity statuses, and the Omnibus Personality Inventory (OPI) assessed personality characteristics. Different characteristics discriminated among the statuses in each area: impulse expression and religious orientation in occupation; autonomy, anxiety, and religious orientation in religion; and thinking introversion in politics. The OPI masculinity-femininity scale did not differentiate among the statuses in any area, and no area demonstrated significant Gender x Status interaction effects for the personality variables.
