"Who Am I?" -- Identity Formation in Adolescenceby Rachel Sumner, PhD - Cornell UniversityWhat is Identity?People can identify with lots of different groups, like their gender, race, nationality, or political party (just to name a few). A personal identity is a cohesive sense of self, and it includes ideas about all of these group identities, in addition to values and goals. If asked about their identity, someone might say something like “I'm an American woman, I want to make the world a better place, and I take care of my family.”Identity in AdolescenceMany adolescents begin developing a sense of identity.
