Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine reciprocal associations between identity processes (commitment, in-depth exploration, and reconsideration of commitment) and dimensions (support, negative interaction, and power) of maternal, paternal, and sibling relationships. A total of 497 Dutch families including 14-years-old adolescents (56.9% males), their fathers, mothers, and siblings, for a total of 1,988 respondents, participated in a five-wave longitudinal study. Cross-lagged analyses indicated that commitment and in-depth exploration predicted improvements in family relationships (unidirectional effects), whereas reconsideration of commitment was predicted by low levels of maternal support and worsened the quality of the paternal relationship (reciprocal effects). These results were not moderated by adolescents' gender and sibling characteristics. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

  • More conflict in family relationships is related to lower commitments and more ruminative exploration.

    “more conflict in family relationships is related to lower commitments and more ruminative exploration [46,44]”

    From Adolescent identity development in context. (2022) · cites this paper as [46]

    The Family Relationships and Identity Commitment section (page unavailable) reports that commitment was negatively related to paternal and maternal negative interaction, which the paper defines as conflict and antagonism. The Reconsideration of Commitment section (page unavailable) links that process to negative interactions, but the paper studies reconsideration of commitment, not ruminative exploration; that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • Higher identity consolidation, commitment, or exploration in-depth are associated with more positive family relationships (higher perceived family climate, more family cohesion, higher parental trust, lower emotional separation, more support from parents and siblings).

    “A higher degree of identity consolidation, commitment, or exploration in-depth have been associated with a higher perceived family climate [43], more family cohesion [44], higher parental trust and lower emotional separation [45], and more support from parents and siblings [46]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
