A representative sample of Dutch adolescents, aged 12 to 14, completed the Utrecht-Groningen Identity Development Scale (U-GIDS). This instrument encompasses separate scales for commitment in exploration for relational, school, and occupational identity. The results show that relational identity becomes consistently stronger as adolescents grow older. Less consistent developmental trends were found for school identity, and no developmental trends for occupational identity. A different identity structure was found in different groups of adolescents. For girls the relational identity is much more important than school or occupational identity. The same difference was found in adolescents aged 21 to 24 vs. their younger peers. Identity development is mostly influenced by peers, with parents having only an additive positive influence.

Subjects were 244 ninth graders recruited from several school districts in the Southeast and Midwest. Thirty-one subjects participated in a small longitudinal study three years later when they were in the twelfth grade. Measures of maternal and parental demandingness, responsiveness, values toward achievement, involvement in schoolwork, and involvement in school functions, designed for this program of research, were obtained from both adolescents and their parents. Results showed that both adolescents and parents perceived mothers to be more involved in parenting than were fathers during both ninth and twelfth grades. Mothers and fathers were not found to be different regarding their values toward achievement. Additionally, both mothers and fathers perceived themselves to be higher on all aspects of parenting than their adolescents perceived them to be during both ninth and twelfth grades. In the longitudinal study, both adolescents and parents perceived levels of parenting to drop between ninth and twelfth grades, except values toward achievement which did not change. Implications for interpretation of existing research and for considerations of future research are discussed.
