moc różnicująca

Polish to English Science Mathematics & Statistics general
W tekście dotyczącym badań tożsamości.

"W pracy ukazano charakteryzujące uczniów statusy tożsamości, które mogą być predyktorami jakości startu młodych ludzi w dorosłość. Wzięto pod uwagę również zmienne metryczkowe: typ szkoły, płeć, wykształcenie rodziców, w kontekście ich mocy różnicującej poczucie tożsamości."

@All: I do not know if "ich" refers to the parents or to "zmienne metryczkowe;" I think it refers to zmienne matryczkowe
In any case, this sound like "as far as their ability to differentiate the sense of identity is concerned." Somehow this data is called upon to differentiate the sense of identity of various students.

their ability to discriminate / discriminatory ability

Although it's not entirely clear to me how one "discriminates" a sense of identity.

"Differentiate between" is an alternative English phrase, but it has the same issue - what things are being discriminated between?

It would make more sense to say "to achieve/realize their sense of identity" but that isn't quite what the Polish is saying.
Peer comment(s):

agree Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. : You started the thought about differentiating ability/power, which is another option.

Thanks MacroJanus. But even in English I don't grasp the authors' intention.
