This study sought to clarify the relations between undergraduate students' styles of reaction to parental expectations and their sense of identity. A 63-item questionnaire relating to reaction styles, degree of parental expectations and the Multidimensional Ego Identity Scale (MEIS; Tani, 2001) was responded to by 221 undergraduate students. Factor analysis extracted 8 factors, including positive acceptance of, rebellion against, and compromise with the expectations, and esteem for one's own way of life. Also, the higher the parental expectations, the greater the burden experienced by both males and females; males rebelled and recognized the limits to which they could meet the expectations while females ingratiated themselves superficially with respect to the expectations. Finally, The more sense of identity was established, the less respondents felt burdened by and rebelled against the expectations, and the more they compromised with parental expectations and had higher esteem for their own way of life. Consequently, it may be important to have an invariant sense of self and a sense of time continuity as well as to define oneself through meeting a variety of people socially.
