The Process of Separation-Individuation of Adolescents: Presentation of Questionnaire

Sanja SMOJVER-AŽIĆ

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present the adapted version of the
Questionnaire of separation-individuation for adolescents,
Levin et al. (1986). A sample of 1003 students from several
faculties of the University of Rijeka participated in the study.
An adapted and shortened version of the Questionnaire of
separation-individuation examining relationships with significant
persons: parents, friends and professors, was applied. The
factor structure of our questionnaire was mostly congruent to
the structure of the original questionnaire. Five factors were
extracted representing dimensions of separation-individuation:
denying the need for others, separational anxiety, inhibition
due to parental control, a yearning for childhood and
healthy independence. With regard to the clear factor
structure and satisfactory coefficients of internal consistency,
the questionnaire of separation-individuation can be used as
a measure of the separation-individuation of adolescents.
