Abstract

The study focuses mainly on the predictors of identity and its effect on the psychosocial development of adolescents. These factors that were found in the study are family and peers. Qualitative and quantitative research designs were used and 180 respondents participated in the study. It was known that adolescents have already acquired personal, relational, social and collective identities. They express their search for identity by facing three major issues; individual expression, autonomy and social pressure. It was also discovered that identity formation cannot be achieved by the end of adolescence because most of them are still in the state of moratorium and foreclosure.
