these identity frameworks in the broaderliterature. To be fair, in the broader literature there have only been a few claims that identity isexplicitly distinct from other constructs such as self-efficacy2 or the expectancy-value theory ofachievement motivation.3 However, in the last five years some have made this distinction. Forexample, Lent, R. W., Brown, S. D., & Hackett, G.4 expand on Bandura’s theory of self-efficacyto the extent of illuminating the importance of self-efficacy in academic persistence. While thisis not explicitly identity, self-efficacy is a theoretically relevant construct that had to be takeninto consideration in this review as it is often associated with identity measures.Table 1 Categorization of Identity Studies by
