Operationalization
Vertical integration refers to the extent to which a person's overall identity is associated with each of that person's context-specific identities. Calculated by determining the mean of all correlations between the 'general identity' of the adolescents and their 'context-specific identities'.

Assessed using self-report on questions concerning the extent to which individuals incorporate their particular context-specific identities.
