About this issue
Adolescence is a particularly hard time for children. During this period they experience all kinds of new changes in their body and in their feelings. They often feel misunderstood as they are struggling to leave behind their childhood and become adults. Knowledge of own identity is a major issue in the adolescent period. There are many researches which explain the important role of identity in the development and growth of the individual. Many of the life style habits are developed in this early age which affects the adolescents’ health and well being. The adolescents who are having poor sense of identity status, their well being is likely to be poor. This study was conducted on 100 students (50 boys and 50 girls) studying in 11th and 12th classes of the Bhiwani city schools. These participants were tested on the two measures i.e. Ego Identity and Subjective Well Being. The findings of the study reported that the identity is positively correlated with the well being of the adolescents which illustrates that the pattern of identity formation enriches the adolescents’ well being. There are significant gender differences in identity and well being. The study further emphasis the need of identity formation of adolescent girls and boys adequately.
