Identity and Poverty

<p>This book first published in 1996 examines an important developmental transition: the formation of identity as well as the influence that having a well-developed identity may have on a sample of adolescents living in urban Chicago. This study proposes that identity commitment exploration and continuity will be associated with positive psychological and behavioural outcomes for adolescents. This title will be of interest to students of sociology psychology and urban studies. </p>
