Abstract
The link between commitment strength and well-being has been well-established within identity research. This study aimed to add to the existing literature by examining if satisfaction with general identity mediates the relationship between commitment strength and well-being. It did so by administering an online questionnaire that included the GIDS-L and the Shortened Twenty Statements Test to a sample of 90 first-year psychology students attending a Dutch university (Mage = 19.6, 64 women, 23 men, 3 non-binary/still questioning). Results showed that commitment strength indeed predicts well-being, however, this relationship disappeared once satisfaction with general identity was included in the analysis. Exploratory analysis showed similar effects when commitment utility and positive/negative commitment valence were each separately included in similar analyses. Implications of these findings are that research needs to start including more complex theoretical models and data analyses, like network analyses, to get a more thorough understanding of how the relationship between commitment strength and well-being works and which factors impact it.
