The primary goals were to examine the relationships of need for cognition and two forms of cognitive processing of self-related information (reflective self-focus and integrative self-knowledge) to multiple dimensions of sense of identity, and to test for life stage differences in the magnitude of these relationships. Significant differences were observed in the reflective self-focus levels and strength of sense of identity between the two groups of women. The obtained results also indicated that – regardless the stage of life – a tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive tasks as well as a tendency to integrate past, present, and desired future self-experience into a meaningful whole favored maintenance of sense of identity. The effects of reflection appeared more complicated.}, doi = {10.4467/20843879PR.15.023.4466}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/psychologia-rozwojowa/artykul/motywacja-epistemiczna-a-poczucie-tozsamosci-u-kobiet-w-okresie-wkraczania-w-doroslosc-oraz-sredniej-i-poznej-doroslosci} }
