The Utrecht Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS) is an essential tool for assessing identity formation in adolescent populations. This study examined the psychometric properties of the U-MICS among 240 adolescents from the city of Arak. The aim of the research was to evaluate the measurement indices, reliability, and validity. Through statistical analysis of the results, the study investigated the structural integrity and cross-group comparability of the scale. The results showed that the U-MICS has strong psychometric properties, including high internal consistency and the establishment of configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance in the study population. These findings support the reliability and validity of the scale as a cross-cultural tool for measuring identity commitments in adolescent development research. The study contributes to the methodological understanding of identity measurement tools and provides empirical evidence for the application of the U-MICS in adolescent identity research. By confirming the psychometric properties, this study provides researchers and clinicians with a validated instrument to explore identity formation processes in diverse adolescent populations.
