Identity development is an important and critical stage in the development of any individual. It has now been
highlighted that formation of identity is strongly influenced by the cultural and religious orientation of any
individual (Aldashev & Platteau, 2014). Due to this reason, the current study was designed to develop an
indigenous identity patterns scale to tap this phenomenon among university students. In current study, the
phenomenology of identity was explored through focus groups. Then, the list of 51 items was derived and
transformed in the form of scale. This identity pattern scale was then given to a sample of 200 university
students to establish the psychometric properties. Results of factor analysis revealed significant value (p<.01) of
KMO (.75) and Bartlett's test of sphericity (3451.57) which shows the relatedness of variables in different
factors that ensures the suitability of factor analysis. 3 factors were retained through principle component
analysis varimax rotation and then named as self-reliant and clear identity, passive and confused identity, and
ambitious identity. The values of Alpha Coefficient (.78), Split-half reliability (.58), and Spearman-Brown
Coefficient (.74) of IPS showed that IPS is a highly reliable tool(p<.01). Moreover, the concurrent validity of
indigenous identity scale with Identity style inventory (ISI) (Berzonsky et al., 2013) also found to be moderately
high(r=.51, p<.01).The psychometric properties of the scale are discussed with special focus on the cultural and
contextual variations of identity.
