Identity synthesis and confusion by identity status cluster

Variable	Achievement (n = 1,560)	Searching moratorium (n = 1,225)	Foreclosure (n = 1,215)	Diffused diffusion (n = 1,278)	Carefree diffusion (n = 1,061)	Undifferentiated (n = 2,685)	F ratio	η²
Identity synthesis	27.16_a (2.76)	25.42_b (3.27)	25.46_b (2.96)	20.27_c (3.84)	19.21_d (3.51)	23.09_e (2.58)	1,386.32^***	.44
Identity confusion	12.08_a (3.53)	18.18_b (5.24)	12.05_a (3.20)	20.95c (3.83)	17.61_b (3.39)	16.69_d (3.67)	1,081.55^***	.38

Pairwise comparisons were conducted using the sandwich estimator (Kauermann and Carroll 2001) to adjust for multilevel nesting. Overall F ratios and effect sizes are not adjusted for nesting

Within each row, means with the same subscript do not differ significantly at p < .01
