对 210 名大学生的身份发展的六个社会领域进行了性别比较：职业、宗教、政治、约会、性别角色和友谊。身份研究文献经常结合各个领域来创建对身份发展的更全面的估计。这种方法可能会掩盖领域之间的差异，每个领域可能对不同的社会背景以及男性和女性产生不同的影响。对每个领域以及意识形态、人际和整体领域的综合得分进行了分析。当检查特定领域的分析时，一些性别差异很明显。男性更有可能探索并致力于政治，而女性更有可能探索性别角色并致力于宗教和约会。在政治上，处于分散状态的男性较少；相比之下，在约会和性角色方面，处于分散状态的女性较少。然而，当检查综合分数时，身份地位不存在性别差异。结果表明，在特定领域仍然存在一些性别差异。在检查性别比较时，建议包括特定领域分析的效用。无论性别如何，政治身份分散的年轻人比其他任何领域都多，这表明当今大学青年对政治的冷漠。
Gender comparisons were conducted in six social domains of identity development on 210 college students: occupation, religion, politics, dating, sex roles, and friendship. The identity research literature often combines domains to create more global estimates of identity development. Such an approach may obscure differences among the domains, each of which may have different implications for different societal contexts, and for males and females. Analyses were made for each domain, and for the combined ideological, interpersonal, and overall domain scores. Several gender differences were apparent when domain-specific analyses were examined. Males were more likely to explore and commit in politics, whereas females were more likely to explore in sex roles and to commit in religion and dating. In politics, fewer males were in the diffused status; in contrast, for dating and sex roles, there were fewer females in the diffused status. However, when combined scores were examined, there were no gender differences in identity status. The results suggest that some gender differences still remain in specific domains. The utility of including domain-specific analyses is suggested when gender comparisons are examined. Regardless of gender, more youth were diffused in political identity than in any other domain, suggesting political apathy among today's college youth.
