The resultsare as follows:In the junior high school stage, There is no significant difference in the proportion of thethree identity styles; First, Grade difference exists in identity style of junior high students. Thespecific performances are as follows: in the information style regard, the descending order ofthe score and proportion is Grade1,Grade3and Grade2;in the diffuse style regard, the orderis Grade2,Grade1and Grade3; Second, Gender difference also exists. Boys have a higherscore than girls in the information style regard; While in the diffuse regard, girls have a higherone. Finally, there are also urban-rural differences. Urban students have a significantly higherscore and proportion than rural students no matter in the normative style regard or in thediffuse style regard.The family function of junior high school students is in a relatively healthy level;Specifically, boys scored significantly higher in affective involvement than girls; Urban juniorhigh school students have a higher level on the dimensions of family function than rural juniorhigh school students; In addition to affective involvement, the one-child family functionswere significantly better than the non-only child.There is a very close relationship between identity style and family functioning injunior high school students. Specifically, between the information style, problem-solving,communication, roles, affective responsiveness, behavior control and general functioning,there is a very significant negative correlation; There is also a very significant negativecorrelation between normative style, problem solving and affective involvement, and asignificant negative correlation with communication; There are very significant positivecorrelation between the proliferation of styles and family functioning dimensions. In addition,compare the styles of the students, we found that the three identity styles of the students in thevarious dimensions of family functioning scores were as follows: diffuse style is thehighest,the normative style follows, and information style is the last. And in addition to therole dimension, the normative style has a higher level which the proliferation style does meetthan the proliferation style,and the differences between the other dimensions all reach asignificant level.Through the analysis of the above findings, the study suggests that either the family orschool, should strengthen the focus on identity style and family function status of junior high students,and pay particular more attention to groups including the Grade2students, ruralstudents and male groups. Strengthen the cooperation of schools and families at the same timeand make a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of students in families and schools.Through the forms of setting up Joint Working Group of the Family and network platforms,offering lectures, and organizing group activities, provide them suitable environmentalconditions to make them have healthier families function, more mature identity styles, andmore healthy growth.
