Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to grasp correlation in the status formula between identity and intimacy, based on sexual differences through the method of canonical correlation analysis. For this research, we surveyed at random one hundred and fifty male and female collegians whose ages range in early adulthood. In comparative discussion of the earned results with the precedent research results, we can conclude as follows: 1. The more the factor of the diffusion of identity status in the value area is high, the more the autonomy of intimacy status is low. 2. The more the factor of the foreclose in the value area is high, the more the autonomy of intimacy status is low. 3. The more the factor of the achievement of identity in the value area is high, the more the openness of intimacy status is high. 4. The more the factor of the diffusion of identity status in the value area is low, the more autonomy of intimacy status is high. 5. The more the factor of the moratorium of identity in value area is high, the more the cooperation of intimacy status is high. 6. The more the factor of achievement of identity in value area is high, the more the openness of intimacy status is high. 5. The more the factor of the moratorium of identity in value area is high, the more the cooperation of intimacy status is high. 6. The more the factor of achievement of identity in value area is high, the more the openness of intimacy status is high.
