The objective of the present research was to study gender
differences in adolescent identity formation process. For this
purpose, a sample of 600 adolescents (300 boys and 300 girls) of
age-range 13-21 years, were divided into three groups i.e., early,
middle, and late adolescents sample. The sample belonged to
various schools and colleges of Amritsar city (India). Extended
Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status -2 (EOMEIS-2; Bennion
& Adams, 1986) was used in the study. The scores of four identity
statuses, that is, of identity achievement, moratorium, foreclosure,
and diffusion were compared to study gender differences in the
three age groups. t-test analyses and identity status classifications
revealed that in all the three age groups, girls were higher than
boys on identity achievement and moratorium, and were lower
than boys on diffusion. Girls seem to be outperforming boys even
in traditionally male-dominated areas of identity formation.
