IDENTITY INTEGRATION PROCESS

This section refers to the dynamic processes that enable an individual to integrate new information from his or her environment into his or her personal and social identity. Social identity answers the question who are we? and personal identity answers the question who am I? Over the years, we have studied the additive and subtractive processes of identity integration. We have also proposed a theoretical model of the four steps that lead to identity integration.
