Abstract

For adolescent proceeding at the road to identity formation is a major challenge they must negotiate. The role that emotional autonomy and parental styles may play in establishing identity styles was investigated. A sample of 237 males and females students of age group 15-171/2 years was drawn from public high school in Shiraz city. These students responded emotional autonomy, parental styles and identity styles questioners. Preliminary results indicated that positive identity was positively correlated with authoritative parental style and emotional autonomy and negatively with authoritarian. Regression analyses confirmed that parental styles and emotional autonomy predict positive identity. The results indicated that emotional autonomy and parental styles variables combined accounted for %46 of the variation in strength of positive identity. The findings are consistent with the view that emotional autonomy may contribute to the way in which middle adolescents negotiate the task of constructing a sense of identity. Hence, identity style may represent one mechanism by which the cumulative effects of emotional autonomy affect psychosocial outcomes among young adults. Alternative explanations of the findings are considered.
