Abstract

This survey research aims to examine the relationships between the quality of relationships with parents, the quality of friendships, and five dimensions of identity development in undergraduate students: commitment making, identification with commitment, exploration in breadth, exploration in depth, and ruminative exploration. The sample consisted of 315 students aged 18-24. The analysis revealed that the quality of parental relationships significantly influences identity commitment and exploration, while the quality of friendships plays a greater role in promoting in-depth exploration compared to parental relationships. These findings underscore the importance of both parental and peer relationships in fostering identity development during the transition to adulthood. This is a period when individuals seek self-understanding and create meaning in their lives. Support and acceptance from close individuals contribute to the ability to explore options, make decisions, and build a personal identity that is sustainable and stable in the long term.
