One of the most often used models in research on identity is Berzonsky’s (1989b, 2011) model of identity processing styles, in which three styles are distinguished as different ways of building personal identity: informational, normative, and diffuse-avoidant. For measuring these styles, Berzonsky proposed the Identity Style Inventory (ISI; Berzonsky et al., 2013). There have been suggestions in the literature (Cieciuch, 2010; Topolewska, & Cieciuch, 2012) that it is possible to distinguish two factors within the diffuse-avoidant style scale: diffuse-carefree and avoidant. The aim of the article is to check the legitimacy of distinguishing these two subscales. Research was conducted on a sample of young adults (N = 603, age: 19–25, M = 21.24, SD = 1.68, 65% women) using the Polish version of Identity Style Inventory (ISI-4; Senejko, 2010). Analyses performed in accordance with two approaches (variable-centered and person-centered) led to similar conclusions. The analyses following the variable-centered approach revealed different associations between the two diffuse-avoidant subscales and eudaimonic well-being. Following the person-centered approach, it was shown that both subscales are the basis for distinguishing separate groups of people, which also differ in terms of well-being. The obtained results support the thesis about the heterogeneous nature of the diffuse-avoidant style and about the different functioning of people who differ in their scores on the two subscales. This means that taking both the avoidant style scale and the diffuse-carefree style scale into account in empirical studies may yield more precise results.
