THE PROBLEM OF THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF IDENTITY IN MODERN FOREIGN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract
Identity is a multidimensional system, its content is systematized and consists of elements of three types: personal, role and social identities. Element place in the overall structure depends on its emotional and value assessment by the subject. The formation and development of identity is determined by psychological and specific identity processes. It can also be motivated by the person’s desire to lower the level of experienced discomfort or to improve his or her own psychological well-being. The model of identity, which clearly defines the structure and dynamics of identity and their correlation, is not currently developed and can only be made up of fragments of other concepts.
