Identity status and identity style: a replication study.

Seventy-four initial teacher preparation students completed a questionnaire assessing identity status development and identity style. A factor analysis using all of the EOM-EIS subscales and the four Identity Style subscales yielded five factors that explained 76.0% of the variability in the correlation matrix. Collectively, findings paralleled those of Berzonsky's (1988) work and support theoretical speculation concerning the process of identity formation.
