Identity And Self-Perception

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between identity and self-perception, focusing on how individuals perceive themselves and their place within the social and cultural contexts they inhabit. Identity formation is a dynamic process influenced by various factors, including cultural background, social interactions, and personal experiences. Self-perception, a critical component of identity, shapes how individuals see themselves and how they believe they are seen by others. By examining theoretical frameworks and empirical studies, this research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying identity and self-perception, highlighting the role of social, psychological, and cultural influences. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of identity dynamics and offer insights for fields such as psychology, sociology, and cultural studies.
