Abstract |
The paper interprets phenomenon of identity as a process of conscious and unconscious acceptance and understanding by a person of oneself, one’s own characteristics, beliefs, values, role in society, as well as recognition of one’s belonging to a particular community on ethnic, national, religious, gender grounds. Sociocultural identity comes as a result of personality development, formation of completeness and integrity of one’s image, it has a temporary characteristic, changes and develops during a person’s life under the influence of experience, education, cultural context and other factors. In general, identity acts as a mechanism for the formation of a sense of identity of the individual to oneself in the course of analysis and assessment of the image of ‘I’. The process can be caused by both external socio-cultural factors, such as migration, cultural assimilation, changes in social and cultural values and traditions, and internal factors, generated by immaturity, infantilism, insufficient integrity of the personality, its internal contradictions, conflicts, doubts. The intrapersonal conflict that arises in this case can be expressed in the form of various symptoms and emotional states: depression, anxiety, sense of loss, psychological tension, internal contradictions and doubts that a person experiences in relation to one’s own personality, one’s values, worldview or life path. Identity deformations are one of the main reasons giving rise to intrapersonal conflict, as a special state characterized by the presence of polar positions in a person, indicating a struggle of motives, meanings, values in relation to understanding and accepting one’s own image of the ‘I’. |
