Identity Formation and the College Experience

Newman, Philip R.; Newman, Barbara M.

Adolescence, 13, 50, 311-26, Sum 78

Examines the process by which the college experience contributes to the adolescent's work on identity. Analyzes specific variables which determine the college environment's influence upon students, namely: 1) the amount of student-teacher interaction; 2) the identity status of the students; and 3) the degree of fit between student values and the college values.
