Sociology – identities



The social construction of self and identity –

- Identity is a social construction in that it isn’t something that occurs naturally, being socially
caused and created by the socialisation process



Identity – how individuals and groups define themselves

 Places people within society
 Influences the communities they are apart of and social circles they belong to

Sources of identity – labels are important because individuals attach a type of importance to them

Based on characteristics:

- Social class
- Gender
- Ethnicity



Socialisation – forms and transmits both culture and identities form one generation to the next

- Individuals are not free to adopt any identity they like, impacted by existing factors, such as
social class and ethnic group, that influence how others see them

Changes to identity – maintaining different identities in different circumstances

- Are likely to change over time, may see themselves as different from when they were
younger or change in correspondence with job roles


Types of identity

- There are many forms of identity and sources from which people draw their identities

Woodward – individual identity corresponds with how people see themselves; ‘self-concept’

Mead – described this process as the ‘inner me’, or ‘I’

Social identity – defines people in relation to the to the social groups they belong in and how they
vary between the groups and individuals

- May arise from social roles (occupation)

Collective identities – shared by a social group, personal and social, differ regarding elements of
choice

- There must be an active choice to identify with a group, as well as to adopt an identity
associated with it
