摘要：The article considers connection between subjective perception of adulthood and various dimensions of identity measured through Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS), which consists of 25 items. This is a relatively newly developed instrument that was elaborated in the process of refining of the Marcia identity development model. In order to use it for Georgian population, we did reliability analysis of the subscales with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from .711 – for exploration in breadth, .701 - exploration in depth, .802 –commitment making, 0.759 – identification with commitment and .735 – for ruminative exploration. The subjective perception of adulthood was significantly correlated only with one DIDS scale: commitment making. This connection is not unexpected, as, according to the relevant literature, commitment making is linked to maturity and adulthood. However, additional research is needed to explain insignificant correlations with other 4 dimensions.
