Identity develops well into adulthood and boosts mental well-being
A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, challenges the long-held psychological belief that identity formation is strictly confined to the adolescent and early adult years. Following participants from age 27 to 61, the study demonstrated that personal identity continues to develop positively well into adulthood, directly correlating with enhanced mental well-being and life satisfaction.
