Jak dorosłość wiąże się z koncepcją siebie – perspektywa teorii niepewności tożsamościowej
How adulthood relates to self-concept – the perspective of uncertainty-identity theory

Summary/Abstract: Aim. This paper attempts to demonstrate that achieving objective attributes of adulthood is associated with higher clarity of self-concept. The postponement of adulthood is presented as a threat to the development of a stable and adaptive identity.Methods. In total, 504 people participated in the study. The participants were so-called "young adults" (18-25 years) in the stage of emerging adulthood. An Adult Social Roles and Tasks Questionnaire (KRZD) and the Polish adaptation of the Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS) were used to measure the variables.Results. Results showed a significant positive correlation between objectives attributes of adulthood and self-concept clarity (r = 0,17; p < 0,001), thus confirming the hypothesis.Conclusions. This study offers novel insights into understanding the link between objective attributes of adulthood and self-concept clarity.
