虽然认同形成模型被广泛用于评估青少年的种族认同发展，模型的命题很少被测试。存在的身份地位（扩散，止赎，暂停，实现），建议的发展轨迹，以及是否青年在实现的状态报告更高水平的心理健康进行了研究，224名非洲裔美国青少年，年龄在11-17岁之间的纵向样本。聚类分析用于在两个时间点创建与理论模型一致的4种身份状态。研究结果表明，一些青少年取得了进步，而另一些青少年则在不同时期出现了倒退或保持不变。最后，研究结果普遍支持这样的假设，即在这两个时期，处于已实现状态的个人的心理健康水平最高。
Although the identity formation model is widely used to assess adolescent ethnic identity development, the model propositions have rarely been tested. The existence of the identity statuses (diffuse, foreclosed, moratorium, achieved), the proposed developmental trajectories, and whether youth in the achieved status report higher levels of psychological well-being were examined among a longitudinal sample of 224 African American adolescents, aged 11-17. Cluster analyses were used to create 4 identity statuses consistent with the theoretical model at both time points. The findings indicate that some adolescents progressed, while others regressed or remained constant across time periods. Lastly, the results generally support the assumption that individuals in the achieved status had the highest levels of psychological well-being at both time periods.
