Curricula interventions for identity change: substantive and ethical considerations
1Dept. of Psychology, Trenton State College, NJ 08650-4700.
Abstract:
The rationale for school-based curricula interventions to promote identity formation is based on the advantages of psychological functioning associated with use of the more sophisticated identity statuses and the opportunities available in school settings to create the conditions facilitating developmental movement in that direction. A variety of education strategies pertaining to identity development are described, along with their probable impacts upon various aspects of the processes involved in forming a sense of identity. Ethical considerations for both supporting and opposing identity-related interventions are presented. Suggestions are offered as to how best to proceed when implementing identity-related education curricula.
