Dimensions of identity development scale. Preliminary data for Bulgarian adolescents

Summary/Abstract: The current study presents data from the validation of the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale among Bulgarian adolescents. The study was conducted among 326 students aged 15 to 19 years. The results reveal a five-factor structure in line with the original questionnaire’s structure, which includes four dimensions reflecting adaptive development – Commitment making, Identification with commitment, Exploration in breadth, Exploration in depth, and one reflects maladaptive development and is associated with procrastination, inability to make choices, and hesitation – Ruminative exploration. The validity of the instrument was also tested using two personality questionnaires reflecting the dimensional approach to personality – the Big Five Inventory-2 assessing the adaptive pole of the traits Negative Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Open-Mindedness, and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5: Brief Form, which assesses the maladaptive, extreme pole of the same five characteristics. The results partially correspond to the expectation that maladaptive characteristics have stronger relationships with Ruminative Exploration, and adaptive ones with some of the other dimensions of identity development.
