Book Historical Tales and National Identity

Download or read book Historical Tales and National Identity written by János László and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social psychologists argue that people’s past weighs on their present. Consistent with this view, Historical Tales and National Identity outlines a theory and a methodology which provide tools for better understanding the relation between the present psychological condition of a society and representations of its past. Author Janos Laszlo argues that various kinds of historical texts including historical textbooks, texts derived from public memory (e.g. media or oral history), novels, and folk narratives play a central part in constructing national identity. Consequently, with a proper methodology, it is possible to expose the characteristic features and contours of national identities. In this book Laszlo enhances our understanding of narrative psychology and further elaborates his narrative theory of history and identity. He offers a conceptual model that draws on diverse areas of psychology - social, political, cognitive and psychodynamics - and integrates them into a coherent whole. In addition to this conceptual contribution, he also provides a major methodological innovation: a content analytic framework and software package that can be used to analyse various kinds of historical texts and shed new light on national identity. In the second part of the book, the potential of this approach is empirically illustrated, using Hungarian national identity as the focus. The author also extends his scope to consider the potential generalizations of the approach employed. Historical Tales and National Identity will be of great interest to a broad range of student and academic readers across the social sciences and humanities: in psychology, history, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, political science, media studies, sociology and memory studies.

Book Power  Intimacy  and the Life Story

Download or read book Power Intimacy and the Life Story written by Dan P. McAdams and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who am I? And how do I fit into the world? These are the questions individuals ask themselves to make sense of their lives. Power, Intimacy and the Life Story addresses the human quest for identity. The author reinterprets some of the classic writings in psychology as he shows how each of us constructs a life story in order to meet the identity challenge and create a sense of unity and purpose in our lives. Written for the social scientist, practicing clinician, educated layperson, and student, this compelling study describes how we construct stories that are organized by the two general life themes of power and intimacy. Using the results of questionnaires and interviews with both college students and older adults, the author illustrates an innovative way of understanding human lives in literary terms.

Book Using Identity Processing Styles to Better Understand a Comprehensive Status Model of Identity Development

Download or read book Using Identity Processing Styles to Better Understand a Comprehensive Status Model of Identity Development written by Jennifer L. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study set out to investigate the process and structure of identity development based on Erikson's (1963) epigenetic theory of identity development. The present study used an updated identity status model (Luyckx et al., 2008a) and a cognitive processing styles model (Berzonsky, 1990) to explore how both models relate in order to extend our understanding of the identity development process. The Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS) and the Identity Style Inventory (ISI-3) were used to measure identity status and style in a sample of university students (N=419). Three hypotheses were tested to ascertain the relationship between style and status. A two-step cluster analysis procedure was used to determine the number of status clusters in this study. Results showed that six status clusters were evident, supporting hypothesis one. Regarding hypothesis two, although participants in three of the six different statuses reported preferring the processing style theoretically consistent with their status, participants in three of six statuses did not. In addition, all of the clusters endorsed the Informational processing style to the highest degree. Results related to hypothesis three showed that the relative level of endorsement of each processing style was consistent with predictions, past findings and theory. The present findings therefore support some tenets of Eriksonian theory and provide support for a process of identity development that includes both commitment formation and commitment evaluation. However, although evidence was found to support the comprehensive model of identity development proposed by Luyckx et al., the utility of a combined process and structural theory of identity development based on the work of Berzonsky (1988) and Luyckx et al. remains unclear and warrants further research.

Download or read book Adolescent Identity Formation written by Gerald R. Adams and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1992-02-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way identity influences the way adolescents make decisions and cope with stress is one of the topics explored in this thought-provoking volume. The contributors examine the processes of identity formation, social and behavioural outcomes and management, social contextual factors and issues of alternative conceptualizations and measurement. They also address subjects such as women's identity and Erikson's notions of inner space, a multidimensional approach to ethnic identity and the influence of cognitive identity styles on ways in which adolescents cope with stress.

Book Handbook of Identity Theory and Research

Download or read book Handbook of Identity Theory and Research written by Seth J. Schwartz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity is one of the most extensively studied constructs in the social sciences. Yet, despite the wealth of findings across many disciplines, identity researchers remain divided over such enduring fundamental questions as: What exactly is identity, and how do identity processes function? Do people have a single identity or multiple identities? Is identity individually or collectively oriented? Personally or socially constructed? Stable or constantly in flux? The Handbook of Identity Theory and Research offers the rare opportunity to address the questions and reconcile these seeming contradictions, bringing unity and clarity to a diverse and fragmented literature. This exhaustive reference work emphasizes the depth and complexity of identity processes and domains and presents perspectives from many different theoretical schools and empirical approaches. Contributing authors provide perspectives from psychology (e.g., narrative, social identity theory, neo-Eriksonian) and from other disciplines (e.g., sociology, political science, ethnic studies); and the editors highlight the links between chapters that provide complementary insights on related subjects. In addition to covering identity processes and categories that are well-known to the field, the Handbook tackles many emerging issues, including: - Identity development among adopted persons. - Identity processes in interpersonal relationships. - Effects of globalization on cultural identity. - Transgender experience and identity. - Consumer identity and shopping behavior. - Social identity processes in xenophobia and genocide. The Handbook of Identity Theory and Research lends itself to a wealth of uses by scholars, clinicians, and graduate students across many disciplines, including social, developmental, and child/school psychology; human development and family studies; sociology; cultural anthropology; gender, ethnic, and communication studies; education; and counseling.
