ABSTRACT
Identity is an important part of individual’s life as it helps you define your role in different social and environmental aspects. This study investigates the relation between Identity development stages and Life satisfaction in young adults of India.

The scales used for measuring the variables were Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) Pavot, W., & Diener, E. and Layne Bennion and Gerald Adams’ Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. The findings suggest that there is positive correlation between Identity achievement and Life satisfaction, while a weak positive relationship in case of Moratorium identity status. Life satisfaction had a strong negative correlation with Identity diffusion as well as Foreclosed identity status. Brief cultural values and their implication to the study have also been discussed.
