在青春期和成年初期，发展坚定的认同感是一项重要的发展任务，但很少或没有关于坚定地形成消极身份和社会心理信念的个体的实证研究。本研究考察了青年消极身份的形成及其与社会心理信念的关系，包括可变导向的社会心理方面（即二元信念、犬儒主义和社会不信任）和个人导向的社会心理特征。方法：对2313名年龄在18-25岁的日本青年（其中女性占70.9%）进行自述问卷调查。结果：我们发现具有消极身份的个体具有问题的心理社会方面，如高度的二分信念和玩世不恭，以及低社会信任。此外，消极身份的个体具有对他人/社会的强烈敌意。结论：总的来说，我们的研究提供了一个全面的了解如何面对负面身份的青少年在构建与社会的关系困难，这是被忽视的先前的研究。
Introduction: Developing a firm sense of identity is a critical developmental task in adolescence and emerging adulthood, but little or no empirical research exists regarding individuals who firmly form negative identities and psychosocial beliefs. This study examined the formation of negative identities in youth and its association with psychosocial beliefs in terms of variable oriented psychosocial facets (i.e., dichotomous beliefs, cynicism, and social distrust) and person oriented psychosocial profiles.Methods: A total of 2313 young Japanese people (70.9% were females) aged 18-25 years answered the self-report questionnaire.Results: We consequently found that individuals with negative identities possessed problematic psychosocial facets, such as high dichotomous beliefs and cynicism, as well as low social trust. Furthermore, individuals with negative identities had profile characterized by strong hostility toward others/societies.Conclusions: Overall, our study provided a comprehensive understanding of how youth with negative identities face difficulty in constructing relationships with society, which has been neglected in prior research.
