Welcome to the website of the
Self and Identity Development Lab,
Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, România.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

T.S.Eliot, Four Quartets

WHO ARE WE?

The Self and Identity Development Laboratory is part of the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, România. We work on understanding the many facets of the self across development, by investigating antecedents, correlates, and consequences of self-formation. Our current projects focus on identity and personality construction. We are curious and passionate researchers with a keen interest in conducting scientifically sound psychological studies. Our work encompasses complex methodologies (i.e., longitudinal studies, experiments, qualitative research, mixed-method studies).
