Navigating the path to authenticity: identity processes across various life domains.
Article in Current issues in personality psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAuthenticity, characterized by internal coherence, fidelity to oneself, and resistance to external influences, may be considered as one of the consequences of resolution of identity dilemmas. This study investigated the identity-based underpinnings of authenticity, examining potential differences across life domains where individuals construct their identities. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: A sample of 562 individuals aged 18-36 years (
resultsIdentity commitment emerged as a significant positive predictor of authentic living, while reconsideration of commitment was associated with lower levels of authentic living. Interestingly, the double-edged nature of in-depth exploration was also confirmed: while positively associated with well-being, it was negatively associated with authentic living in most identity domains, while promoting self-alienation and accepting external influence.
conclusionsThe findings underscore the importance of identity processes unfolding in different life spheres for the cultivation of authenticity. The results are discussed in the context of various identity domains.
