A substantial amount of identity development scholarship has drawn on the work of Erik Erikson to argue that women resolve stages of identity and intimacy simultaneously, whereas men follow the trajectory originally proposed by Erikson, first resolving the identity stage, then the intimacy stage. Some research has shown that for some women, the identity and intimacy stages appear to be fused; however, other research has shown that many women do follow the traditional Eriksonian progression. We propose a model of identity development for women that maps a trajectory for women who follow Erikson's traditional stages and a relational‐identity trajectory characterized by simultaneous resolution of the identity and intimacy stages. Our model synthesizes work by Josselson (1987), Dyk and Adams's (1990) recognition of sex‐role identification, Kerpelman and Pittman's (2018) infusion of attachment theory and identity, and Berzonsky's (1990) identity styles. Future research directions are also presented.

妇女身份发展的发展轨迹

大量的身份发展奖学金利用了Erik Erikson的工作来论证，女性同时解决了身份和亲密阶段，而男性遵循了Erikson最初提出的发展轨迹，首先解决了身份阶段，然后是亲密阶段。一些研究表明，对于某些女性而言，身份和亲密感阶段似乎融合在一起。但是，其他研究表明，许多女性确实遵循传统的埃里克森式发展。我们提出了一种女性身份发展模型，该模型描绘了遵循埃里克森传统阶段的女性轨迹和以同时解决身份和亲密阶段为特征的关系身份轨迹。我们的模型综合了Josselson（1987），Dyk和Adams（1990）对性角色识别的认识，克佩尔曼（Kerpelman）和皮特曼（Pittman）（2018）灌输了依恋理论和身份，以及贝尔佐斯基（Berzonsky）（1990）的身份风格。还提出了未来的研究方向。
