This talk will discuss strategies of personal identity formation in the Georgian context and their association with parenting dimensions. By using a quantitative model of identity styles, the research shows that Georgian young adults’ approaches to identity issues are different from those observed in Western European and US samples. The links between identity styles and parenting dimensions, studied through SEM analysis, also revealed some differences. The results will be discussed in terms of the specific Georgian context.

Nino Skhirtladze received her Master’s degree in personality psychology from Tbilisi State University. In 2015 she received a PhD in psychology at Ilia state University. The topics of her research interests are personal identity formation, micro and macro contextual influences on identity formation, and the influence of intercultural exchange on personal identity formation. In her research she uses quantitative and qualitative models and methodologies.
