ABSTRACT

In this contribution, we review research that uses a cross-fertilisation approach to integrate developmental and social-psychological perspectives on how identities are formed and changed over time and how identity processes are genuinely social, being embedded in social contexts and fed by social contents. First, we outline the three-factor identity model as a parsimonious approach to understanding the dynamics of identity development. Second, we review empirical studies with longitudinal approaches to shed light on how identity processes are embedded in key contexts such as family, friendships and society at large through behaviours such as civic engagement. Third, we discuss the interplay between personal and social identities. We conclude by highlighting how adopting a cross-fertilisation approach that combines social-psychological and developmental perspective can significantly advance the theoretical understanding of identity dynamics. Finally, we address similarities and differences between personal identity and social identity approaches, and we provide an agenda for future research.

 抽象的

在这篇文章中，我们回顾了使用交叉受精方法整合发展和社会心理学观点的研究，这些观点涉及身份如何随着时间的推移而形成和变化，以及身份过程如何真正具有社会性，嵌入社会背景并由社会内容滋养。首先，我们概述了三因素身份模型，作为理解身份发展动态的一种简约方法。其次，我们回顾了纵向方法的实证研究，以阐明身份过程如何通过公民参与等行为嵌入家庭、友谊和整个社会等关键背景中。第三，我们讨论个人身份和社会身份之间的相互作用。最后，我们强调采用结合社会心理和发展视角的交叉受精方法如何能够显着推进对身份动态的理论理解。最后，我们讨论了个人身份和社会身份方法之间的异同，并为未来的研究提供了议程。
