The relationships of personal and ethnic identity exploration to indices of adaptive and maladaptive psychosocial functioning (2009, background): “Indeed, Luyckx et al. (2005) empirically identified two types of identity diffusion – one characterized by disequilibrium and uncertainty, and the other by a lack of interest in identity issues.”
Identity Development, Personality, and Well‐Being in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood (2012, background): “Diffusion has been linked with the poorest psychosocial functioning, including lack of meaning and direction (Waterman, 2007), drug and alcohol abuse (Bishop, Weisgram, Holleque, Lund, & Wheeler-Anderson, 2005), and social and academic maladjustment (Luyckx et al., 2005).”
Processes of personal identity formation and evaluation. (2011, methodology): “With respect to the diffusion status, Luyckx and colleagues (e.g., Luyckx et al., 2005; Luyckx, Schwartz, Berzonsky, et al., 2008) empirically differentiated between two diffusion clusters, carefree diffusion and diffused diffusion, with diffused diffusion scoring high on ruminative exploration and…”
Identity styles, dimensions, statuses, and functions: Making connections among identity conceptualizations (2013, background): “On the contrary, young people in a state of identity confusion have not chosen their own commitments and, thus, they either have difficulty enacting commitments or are not interested in making them (Luyckx et al., 2005).”
Identity Statuses in Young Adult Employees: Prospective Relations with Work Engagement and Burnout. (2010, background): “For instance, in studies by Luyckx et al. (2005, 2008, 2009), a carefree diffusion status empirically emerged (as theoretically described, for instance, by Archer & Waterman, 1990).”
Developmental trajectories and reciprocal associations between career adaptability and vocational identity: A three-wave longitudinal study with adolescents (2015, unknown): “In line with existing studies on identity cycles for other life domains (Klimstra et al., 2010; Luyckx et al., 2005, 2006) these results indicate that also for the vocational domain girls tend to allot more resources to actively re ﬂ ecting upon their present commitments.”
Career Identity Development in College Students: Decision Making, Parental Support, and Work Experience (2010, methodology): “Luyckx et al. (2005, 2006) found that the commitment formation process was associated with the commitment evaluation process in the student and relationship identity domains, but they did not test associations among these processes in the career domain.”
Self-Esteem and Future Orientation Predict Adolescents’ Risk Engagement (2017, background): “While neo-Eriksonian theorists were developing complementary identity models (Crocetti et al., 2008; Luyckx et al., 2005; Schwartz, 2007), a focus of empirical research has been on the timing of identity development.”
Identity in Emerging Adulthood (2013, background): “Although Luyckx et al. (2005) characterized this status as ‘‘carefree,’’ these individuals appeared to also manifest reckless and antisocial tendencies.”
The Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being: Psychometric properties, demographic comparisons, and evidence of validity (2010, background): “Luyckx and colleagues (Luyckx et al., 2005, 2006) have delineated two types of identity exploration that can be considered normative.”
Identity Formation in Early and Middle Adolescents From Various Ethnic Groups: From Three Dimensions to Five Statuses (2008, background): “…1989; Schenkel and Marcia 1972; Sterling and Van Horn 1989), loneliness (Craig-Bray et al. 1988), fear of success (Orlofsky 1978), nervousness (Adams et al. 1984; Côté and Levine 1983; RotheramBorus 1989), self-destructiveness (Rotheram-Borus 1989), and substance use (Luyckx et al. 2005).”
Capturing ruminative exploration: Extending the four-dimensional model of identity formation in late adolescence (2008, methodology): “Adolescents assigned to the Diffused Diffusion status in Luyckx et al. (2005) did attempt to explore to a limited degree but they did not really succeed in forming subsequent commitments (Marcia, 1993).”
Developmental Typologies of Identity Formation and Adjustment in Female Emerging Adults: A Latent Class Growth Analysis Approach (2008, methodology): “Using baseline data from the present longitudinal study, Luyckx et al. (2005) used cluster analysis to empirically derive identity statuses based on the four identity dimensions mentioned earlier.”
