本研究基于自我治理发展的两个视角，即自我决定理论（SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000）和Berzonsky（1990）的身份风格模型，来检验构式之间的关系。在比利时晚期青少年的样本中发现了SDT定义的三种因果关系取向（自主、控制和非个人）和Berzonsky提出的三种身份风格（信息、规范、扩散-回避）之间理论上可预测的关系。自主因果倾向与信息认同风格正相关，与扩散回避风格负相关。控制性取向与规范性身份风格正相关，非人格化取向与扩散回避型身份风格正相关。参与者的性别并没有调节这些关系。研究结果表明，晚熟青少年所采用的因果性取向可能在他们探索身份相关问题的积极程度和彻底程度上起着重要作用。版权所有©2005 John Wiley & Sons， Ltd
This study examines relationships between constructs based on two perspectives on the development of self‐governance, namely Self‐Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000) and Berzonsky's (1990) identity style model. Theoretically predictable relationships are found between the three causality orientations defined by SDT (autonomous, controlled, and impersonal) and the three identity styles proposed by Berzonsky (informational, normative, diffuse–avoidant) in a sample of Belgian late adolescents. An autonomous causality orientation is positively related to an informational identity style and negatively related to a diffuse–avoidant style. A controlled orientation is positively associated with a normative identity style, and an impersonal orientation is positively related to a diffuse–avoidant identity style. Participants' gender does not moderate these relationships. The findings suggest that the causality orientations late adolescents employ may play an important role in how actively and thoroughly they explore identity‐relevant issues.
