Document Summary
Erikson: identity vs. role confusion (moratorium time out) Frank kelly: at adolescence, kids begin to reject the role of adults and reject selves as children. Afterward, they accept themselves as an adult and their past as children. People who have high self-complexity have components of the self (different roles) that have very little overlap between them. Identity interference = two important identities that are contrasting with each other (going into a field that is dominated by one gender, and being a different gender) Role models people that we want to be, and people that we do not. Lockwood & kunda (1999) actions are influenced by schemas we formed of role models. When social roles change, it changes self-perception (sheeran & abraham, 1994) Alzheimer"s, ptsd loss of memories, incomplete sense of self.
