THE ROLE OF SELF-CONSTRUAL IN CONSOLIDATED IDENTITY AND LIFE SATISFACTION: THE BALANCED INTEGRATION AND DIFFERENTIATION MODEL

Öz

This study examines the impact of self-construal on consolidated identity and life satisfaction within the framework of the Balanced Integration-Differentiation Model. It also investigates whether the relationship between consolidated identity and life satisfaction differs by self-construal type. Data were analyzed with one-way MANOVA and Fisher’s Z test (N=348). Results showed that related-individuated participants had significantly higher consolidated identity scores than separated-individuated and separated-patterned participants. Related-patterned participants also had higher consolidated identity scores than separated-patterned participants. Individuals with related-individuated and related-patterned self-construals reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction than those with separated-patterned and separated-individuated self-construals. However, no differences were found in consolidated identity and life satisfaction scores within related-individuated/related-patterned and separated-patterned/separated-individuated self-construal types. Lastly, a positive relationship between consolidated identity and life satisfaction was consistent across all self-construal types, with no significant differences in strength. Findings challenged the utilization of Markus and Kitayama's (1991) theory of independence and interdependence to explain the link between self-construal and personal identity development as well as the presumed advantage of independence.
