Abstract
A study involving 217 college undergraduates was conducted to evaluate the relationship between measures of ego identity status and three conceptions of well-being: subjective, psychological, and eudaimonic. The various measures of well-being were found to be positively correlated, mostly in the low to moderate range. As predicted, scores on the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status for the identity achievement status were positively correlated with measures of all three conceptions of well-being, while corresponding negative correlations were obtained for identity diffusion scores. The correlations for the moratorium and foreclosure scales were negative for the various measures of psychological well-being but nonsignificant with measures of subjective and eudaimonic well-being. Multiple regression analyses for the moratorium and foreclosure scales yielded a more complex understanding of the associations of various well-being measures for these statuses.
