Clinical identity disturbance on the twenty statements test (TST)
Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: The twenty statements test (TST) is an open-ended self-report measure of self-concept often used in sociological research, and social and developmental psychology settings. Few studies have examined responses on this measure in the context of psychopathology, despite its potential utility. For example, as opposed to measures concerning identity functioning or status, the TSTs qualitative nature allows for the assessment of identity content and has the potential to highlight the most salient or core aspects of a person's self-concept. Additionally, consistent with a continuous conceptualization of psychopathology, the TST allows both positive and negatively valanced content to be reported, enhancing its validity for transdiagnostic clinical populations as well as non-clinical populations. The proposed study will evaluate the relationship between facets of self-concept on the TST with scales on a self-report measure of transdiagnostic clinical identity disturbance. The proposed analyses will contribute to our understanding of the qualities and content of clinically relevant identity disturbance.
