From the result obtained by identity-achievement scale， subjects were categoliged the following 6 groups: Identity Achievement Status(IAS)， Identity Achievement-Forclosure Intermadiate status(AF)， Identity Foreclosure Status(FS)， Moratorium Status(MS)， Identity Diffusion-Moratorium status(DM) and Identitity Diffusion Status(DS).
The main results are as follows:(1) DM represented about 45％ in 20-30 age group and 39％ in 31-40 age group. (2) DS that may related with the apathetic symdrome， was about 8％ in the two age groups. (3) The level of psychological stress response was related significantly with the type of occupation and its position， and identity status. The mean value of psychological stress response was highest on IDS. (4) There was no significant correlation between life style in child hood(about 10 years old) and the level of psychological stress level， although in our previous studies with students of junior high school and university， the correlation between the two parameters was significant.
