从理论上讲，一个人的身份形成和同伴关系的感知质量在成年初期密切相关。本研究以343名比利时大学生为样本，考察了身份风格（即信息导向、规范和回避扩散风格）与同伴关系质量（以友谊质量和孤独感为指标）之间的联系。信息导向型身份类型的高分与友谊质量正相关，而扩散回避型身份类型的高分与孤独感正相关。这些直接联系至少在一定程度上是由依恋相关情绪（即回避和焦虑）介导的。这些直接和间接的联系，提供了身份风格和同伴关系质量之间联系的第一个证据。在方法和概念层面对未来的研究提出了建议。(C) 2012年青少年服务专业人员基金会。Elsevier Ltd.出版。版权所有。
Identity formation and the perceived quality of one's peer relationships are theorized to be intimately linked in emerging adulthood. The present study examined the associations between identity styles (i.e., information-oriented, normative, and diffuse-avoidant styles) and the quality of relationships with peers (as indexed by friendship quality and loneliness) in a sample of 343 college students from Belgium. High scores for the information-oriented style were positively related to friendship quality, whereas high scores for the diffuse-avoidant identity style were positively related to loneliness. These direct associations were mediated, at least in part, by attachment-related emotions (i.e., avoidance and anxiety). These associations, both direct and indirect, provide the first evidence linking identity styles and the quality of peer relationships. Suggestions for future research are provided, both at the methodological and the conceptual level. (C) 2012 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
