Elisabetta Crocetti

My primary scholarly interest concerns the processes of identity formation in adolescence.

In 2009 I received the SRIF (Society for Research on Identity Formation) Biennial Best Doctoral Student Research Award; in 2011 I was awarded a Marie Curie grant, and I am now the PI of the ERC-Consolidator grant IDENTITIES “Managing Identities in Diverse Societies: A Developmental Intergroup Perspective with Adolescents” (2021-2027). Through an ambitious research program, the project aims to shed light on how the interactions that adolescents with and without a migrant background have in different spheres of life and socialization contexts affect their identities and their physical, psychological, and social well-being.

I am the Editor-in-Chief of Identity: An International Journal of Theory and Research, Associate Editor of European Journal of Personality, and member of the editorial board of various international journals (e.g., Journal of Youth and Adolescence, European Review of Social Psychology). I am also the President of the European Association for Research in Adolescence (EARA) and Responsible of the IDENTITIES Lab
