Study Notes
Understanding Identity and Self
- Identity is multi-faceted, comprising personal and social aspects.
- Personal identity includes unique attributes differentiating an individual from others.
- Social identity links an individual to groups based on shared characteristics, such as nationality (e.g., Indian), regional (e.g., Gujarati), or religious identity (e.g., Hindu, Muslim).
Development of Self
- The self is not innate; it develops as individuals grow.
- Self-awareness begins in infancy, with recognition of individual existence emerging around 18 months.
- An experimental test involves placing a dot on an infant's cheek to check self-recognition in a mirror, revealing the infant's self-awareness.
Self in Infancy
- Infants initially lack self-awareness and do not recognize themselves as distinct from their surroundings.
- By approximately 18 months, the emergence of self-image allows infants to recognize their identity.
Adolescence and Self-Concept
- Adolescence is a critical phase for developing self and identity.
- Factors influencing identity include personal experiences, peer relationships, and social interactions.
- A dynamic, continuous process of self-construction occurs through interactions and experiences over time.
Role of Relationships
- Identity development is shaped by relationships within family, school, and community.
- Conflicts may arise between parental and peer values; thus, support from both is crucial for adolescents.
Emotional Changes in Adolescence
- Adolescents experience significant emotional shifts due to biological and physical changes.
- Concerns over personal appearance can lead to feelings of self-consciousness, affecting their self-esteem.
Importance of Individuality and Connectedness
- A family environment promoting both individuality and connectedness fosters healthy identity development.
- Individuality entails encouraging personal viewpoints, while connectedness emphasizes respect and openness to others' opinions.
