Tóm tắt
Sexual identity has been substantially underinvestigated relative to other aspects of identity. The purpose of this study was to document the relationship between sexual psychosocial maturity, positive sexual self-concepts, and effective sexual decision-making/coping styles with the identity processes that college students choose to use in defining their sexual self. Participants in the study were 275 undergraduate male and female students between the ages of 18 and 24 who were attending a liberal arts college in New Jersey. A sexual domain of the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS) recently developed was used in this study to investigate sexual self-definitional processes. It was found that sexual identity achievement was most strongly endorsed and sexual identity diffusion was least endorsed, across age and gender, suggesting that this is an important domain of self-definition for college students. As hypothesized, sexual identity achievement had the strongest, positive relations to healthy sexual psychosocial stage resolve, healthy sexual self-concepts, and adaptive sexual decision-making/coping skills relative to sexual moratorium, foreclosure, and identity diffusion statuses.
