Previous studies have yielded mixed results regarding the development of generativity during adulthood. Longitudinal data were utilized to investigate the average development of generativity between the ages of 42 and 61 as well as individual differences in terms of its development. The study used data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Perso...
Ihmisen hyvinvointi on moniulotteinen ilmiö, joka ei ole pelkistettävissä yksilötasolle ja hyvän terveyden käsitteisiin. Liittyminen ja yhteenkuuluvuus toisiin on ihmisen keskeinen perustarve, ja tässä katsausartikkelissa jäsennämme niitä eri näkökulmia, joita eri tieteenalat ja tarkastelutavat tarjoavat sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin ymmärtämiseksi. Sos...
This qualitative study explores how business leaders narrate their personal ways of recognizing, reasoning, and resolving moral conflicts and what these stories reveal about their moral identity processes within organizational contexts. Based on interviews with 25 business leaders, 4 moral identity statuses were identified: achievement (commitment...
Background and Aims
As our previous study indicated, almost half of juvenile delinquents continued offending in adulthood, while the rest ceased to do so. We compared these groups with each other and with non‐offenders in the life‐course use of alcohol, identity development and life situation.
Methods
Based on the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of P...
Differences in identity stability and change from age 36 through 42 to 50 were examined between three male and female personal style clusters extracted at age 27. We expected, first, the identity statuses to consistently differ between the clusters and, second, those with the least mature identity to move closer to others during midlife. Difference...

Drawn from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, 162 participants (53% females) with children (age 36), represented the Finnish age-cohort born in 1959. Parental identity was assess...
In line with Erikson’s suggestions, increasing empirical evidence substantiates that considerable identity development takes place over the course of adulthood. What then does identity development during adulthood entail? The key findings of adult identity formation from four culturally different countries, and the challenges of analyzing the compl...
Longitudinal patterns of identity formation were analyzed in a representative cohort group of Finnish men and women born in 1959 across ages 27, 36, 42, and 50. The data were drawn from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality. Identity status (diffused, moratorium, foreclosed, achieved) from all four ages was available for 172 participants...
Scholars in the field of electoral participation have for long been aware that turnout is strongly connected to sociopsychological variables such as religiosity, party identification, political interest and sense of political efficacy. The impact of personality characteristics has remained largely unexplored until recently. Based on the Jyväskylä L...

Identity formation in political and occupational domains was examined from young to middle adulthood based on an ongoing longitudinal study. In addition to the participants’ identity status (diffused, moratorium, foreclosed, achieved), we assessed their perceived importance of politics, future orientation, and career stability four times in adultho...
The present longitudinal study addressed the rarely studied topic of identity formation in adulthood, following the Eriksonian-Marcian research tradition. Contextual- and personality-related antecedents of identity achievement, as well as implications of achievement to later well-being, were examined. The study was part of the Jyväskylä Longitudina...
Five external markers of adulthood, self-perceived adulthood at age 27, and identity achievement at ages 27, 36, and 42 were explored for 95 women and 94 men in a cohort of Finns born in 1959. Earlier transition to adulthood in family life (moving from the parental home, entering marriage or cohabitation, having a child) anticipated higher identity...
INTRODUCTION
Individuals' conceptions of their personal goals have been studied in the psychology literature from different perspectives. In this chapter, the processes and implications of one's orientations and self-definitions were analyzed along two dimensions: one's sense of identity, and the self-percepts of autonomous control over development...
This paper addresses (1) the development of identity and personal control over development through adulthood; (2) their developmental background in early adolescence; and (3) their associations with adult psychosocial wellbeing and self-perceptions of health. The study demonstrated relatively strong stability in personal growth in the areas of iden...
Patterns of identity formation were analyzed in a longitudinal framework, from ages 27 to 36 and then to 42 years of age. Information from all 3 ages was available for 197 participants (100 women, 97 men). A variation of Marcia’s (1966) Identity Status Interview included 5 domains: religious beliefs, political identity, occupational career, intimat...

The Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) is one of the most long-term longitudinal studies of human development. The same participants (N = 369; born 1959) have been followed from age 8 to age 61. The main aim of the JYLS has been to examine continuity and interaction in different areas of life: (1) socioemotional behaviour and personality, (2) education and work career, (3) family of origin and one’s own family, (4) health behaviour and health, and (5) social adjustment and delinquency.
From 1968 to 2013, the JYLS was led by Professor Lea Pulkkinen. In 2013, Research Director Dr. Katja Kokko became its principal investigator (PI). From its inception until 2013, the JYLS was located at the Department of Psychology, University of Jyväskylä. Starting in 2014, it has been located at the Gerontology Research Center and the Department of Health Sciences.
The study’s data have been archived anonymously in the Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD). The data can be used for well-established research purposes with permission from the study PI.
