Summary/Abstract: This report explores the relationship between identity status and self- description, based on data from 378 participants recruited through social networks and survey-sharing platforms. The study employs the Ego Identity Process Questionnaire (EIPQ) and Self-Discrepancy Theory to assess identity statuses and self-descriptions. The main findings indicate that personality traits dominate self-descriptions, particularly in the statuses of „Moratorium“ and „Foreclosure“. The „Ideal Self“ is associated with a high perception of positive emotional states and values, while the„Ought Self“ emphasizes social roles and self-assessments. Negative emotional states are more pronounced in the „Ought Self“, especially in „Foreclosure“. The conclusions highlight significant differences in self-description across various identity statuses, identifying key areas for further research and interventions.
