Predicting the Identity Styles in Adolescent Girls Based on their Self-Esteem and Self-Concept

The present study aims at predicting identity styles in adolescent girls based on their self-esteem and self-concept. The research method was descriptive of correlative type, and the statistical  population  consisted of 15 year older girls and in Qom City. Among the statistical population, 130 subjects were selected through available sampling. To gather data, we used Roger’s self-concept questionnaire (1957), Coopersmith self-esteem inventory, and G6-ISI identity styles (White, Wampler, and Wayne, 1998). The data were analyzed using the SPSS software as well as the descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, frequency, correlation coefficient and multiple regression. The result of regression showed that self-esteem predicts 2% and the self-concept predicts 12% of the identity styles among adolescent girls.
