Abstract

ABSTRACT School adjustment represents both a developmental task and an important factor for the psychological and social advancement of young people. The opposite could, however, be true : psychosocial identity of adolescents plays an important role in school adjustment and academic success. Thus, the present research aims at estimating : 1) the psychometric properties of a questionnaire, developed for this research, to measure psychosocial identity and academic success and, 2) to evaluate whether these two fields are independent or correlated. Almost 3 000 students, attending junior and senior high schools in a region of the North of Italy, answered the questionnaire. Twelve factors were obtained through exploratory factor analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that a better fit is obtained when school maladjustment and psychosocial identity are correlated. Further analyses showed differences between the two genders-males and females, and younger and older adolescents whether at junior high or at senior high school.
