思春期における対自他認知体系の発達的変化 : 同性同年輩の他者をめぐって

摘要

The self-others cognitive system of 12-18 years old students were examined in terms of Self-Identity System (S-I. S.). Cluster analysis classified their S-I. S. s into five groups. Younger subjects tended more toward "separated others, self convergence type", while elder subiects tended more toward "non-separated others, self convergence type". Subjects in the transitional stage from the younger to the elder often looked up to a particular person as a "guiding star". These results suggest that self-others cognitive system changes with aging during early adolescence, and a particular person as a "guiding star" may play an important role in this process.
