Margarita Azmitia, Moin Syed, Kimberley Radmacher

Azmitia, M., Syed, M., & Radmacher, K. A. (Eds.). (in press). The intersections of personal and social

              identities. New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 120. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

Brief Description. This volume brings together an interdisciplinary set of social scientists who are pioneering ways to research and theorize the connections between personal and social identity development in children, adolescents, and emerging adults. The authors of the seven chapters address the volume’s three goals: (1) illustrating how theory and research in identity development are enriched by an interdisciplinary approach, (2) providing a rich developmental picture of personal and social identity development, and (3) examining the connections among multiple identities. Several chapters provide practical suggestions for individuals, agencies, and schools and universities that work with children, adolescents, and emerging adults in diverse communities across the United States.

Kazumi Sugimura

Sugimura, K. (2007). Transitions in the process of identity formation among Japanese female adolescents: A relational viewpoint. In R. Josselson, A. Lieblich, & D. P. McAdams (Eds.), The meaning of others: Narrative studies of relationships (pp. 117-142). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.

Brief Description. This chapter illustrates mechanisms of transitions in the process of identity formation with a two-year longitudinal qualitative study. Specifically, this study focused on changes of adolescents’ recognition of the relationships between their own and others’ perspectives in identity exploration. The results showed that a series of an adolescent’s act of meaning making continuously promoted the process of the transitions and this mechanism was consistent with Kegan’s notion of gradual increase of self and other differentiation (Kegan, 1982; Kroger, 2004).

Watzlawik, M. & Born, A (Eds) (2007). Capturing Identity: Quantitative and Qualitative Methods. University Press of America.

Brief Description. Scientists from six countries, well-known for their work in the field of identity research, explain and comment on methodological approaches used to research identity. This book concentrates on qualitative methods, such as narrative identity analysis or semi-structured interviewing techniques to determine identity status, as well as the quantitative method of using questionnaires. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and their future integration. The reader will be able to learn about qualitative and quantitative research and discover the similarities and differences between the methods of researching identity, depending on research with methodological roots in one field, the other, or in both.
