Identity Journal: Personal and Social Identity

Every week I write my own identity diary so that I can help answer questions about how to identify my identity. In the world, our identity is the way we are truly and the two self ways of believing that we are. This is where we are wearing a mask. At weeks 5 and 6, we had to write down my work as a creative work - to explore the problem of identity, we created short stories, poetry, paintings and other forms of creation . This is a poem and a picture for me, saying that we all are wearing masks.

German psychoanalist Eric Eriksson, influenced by Sigmund Freud, is exploring the three aspects of identity. Self-identity (self), individual identity (a person who distinguishes a person from another person) Characteristics, social / cultural identity (a collection of human social roles) in the first or second year of life In particular, from the viewpoint of visual contact and tactile sense, I emphasize mainly the mother's and father's childcare ability and care of the child. If the child is untrustworthy, you may feel distrustful about anxiety, unworthy and widespread world.

According to the theory called social identity theory, the self concept consists of two important elements. Our personal identity includes personality traits and other traits that make each person unique. The social identity includes the group to which we belong, including our community, religion, university and other groups. Self-image, or how you are seeing yourself. It is important to understand that self image does not necessarily match reality. People may exaggerate their own self image, I think they are better at things than theirs. On the contrary, people are also prone to negative self-image, recognition, or exaggeration of defects and weaknesses.

In social psychology social identity theory studies the interaction between individuals and social identity. Social identity theory is aimed at specifying and predicting how individuals view themselves as individuals or groups of members. The theory also takes into account the impact of personal and social identity on individual perceptions and collective behavior. The theory of social identity evolved from a series of studies (often referred to as minimal group studies) conducted by British social psychologist Henri Tajfel and colleagues in the early 1970s. Participants are assigned to groups designed to be as arbitrary and meaningless as possible. However, if you are asked to assign a score to another research participant, you will be given more systematic points to the members of the group than members outside the group.
