Document Summary
Studies specific behaviours of interacting individuals caught in identifiable face-to-face social settings: suggests that people evaluate their own conduct by comparing themselves with others, involves acceptance and resistance of messages. Mead"s i and me : meanings emerge through social interaction. By learning to take the role of the other, young children take an important step toward becoming a full-fledged member of a group and of society: the i is not passive [it has agency! ]; it actively makes sense of responses and then acts. Identification occurs at the intersection of internal and external perspectives. Identification occurs over time and changes, and sports identities are particularly important in many young peoples lives. Identify shifts can cause changes in how the individual views themselves and sometimes how the social world identifies somebody as well: ex. a great athlete injures themselves and can no longer play.
