与身份认同的其他方面相比，性别身份认同的研究严重不足。本研究的目的是探讨性心理社会成熟度、积极的性自我概念、有效的性决策/应对方式与大学生在定义性自我时选择的认同过程之间的关系。这项研究的参与者是275名年龄在18岁至24岁之间的本科生，他们就读于新泽西州的一所文科大学。本研究使用新近开发的自我同一性状态扩展客观测量(EOM-EIS)中的性域来考察性别自我定义过程。研究发现，在不同年龄和性别的大学生中，性别认同获得的支持率最高，而性别认同扩散的支持率最低，这表明这是大学生自我定义的一个重要领域。根据假设，性认同成就与健康的性心理社会阶段决心、健康的性自我概念以及与性暂停、丧失抵押品赎回权和身份认同扩散状态相关的适应性决策/应对技能具有最强的正向关系。
Sexual identity has been substantially underinvestigated relative to other aspects of identity. The purpose of this study was to document the relationship between sexual psychosocial maturity, positive sexual self-concepts, and effective sexual decision-making/ coping styles with the identity processes that college students choose to use in defining their sexual self. Participants in the study were 275 undergraduate male and female students between the ages of 18 and 24 who were attending a liberal arts college in New Jersey. A sexual domain of the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS) recently developed was used in this study to investigate sexual self-definitional processes. It was found that sexual identity achievement was most strongly endorsed and sexual identity diffusion was least endorsed, across age and gender, suggesting that this is an important domain of self-definition for college students. As hypothesized, sexual identity achievement had the strongest, positive relations to healthy sexual psychosocial stage resolve, healthy sexual self-concepts, and adaptive sexual decision-making/coping skills relative to sexual moratorium, foreclosure, and identity diffusion statuses.
