A man's identity is an outcome of the interaction between sociological, psychological, historical, and biological impacts. It springs from the person's endeavors to keep up a feeling of congruity as well as personal uniqueness in the midst of shifting developmental tasks and unexpected events in life and acquire a sense of oneness with the group. Another approach to hypothesize identity is by depicting the characteristics of people who have obtained a strong sense of individual identity.
The interest of developmental psychology in the development of identity arises from the seminal work of Erikson titled Identity: Youth and Crisis. In this masterpiece, Erikson tried to find the development of an individual’s way of life as the basic psychosocial mission of puberty (French et al. 1). The character emergency of youth is determined by accommodating the personalities forced upon oneself by one's family and society with one's need to affirm control and search out a personality that brings one fulfillment, sentiments of industry, and skill. Framing a solid, created character through the procedure of investigation and duty was proposed as crucial to the emotional wellness of an individual. In Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, he believes that the formation of a person’s identity or character is manifested through mediating processes that transpire between responses and stimuli (McLeod “Social Learning”). He also believes that the behavior that forms part of an individual’s identity is a consequence of what the person learns from his environment by way of observation. In a workplace, a person becomes motivated to work and help in the attainment of his company’s goals because somewhere in between, there is a factor that reinforces such behavior such as high salary, bonus, or promotion.
Erikson’s theory of development is patterned from Jean Piaget’s theory. For Erikson, this advancing of the self-image personality happens through phases of psychosocial improvement (French et al. 1). In every stage, the mental make-up of the individual cooperates with the requests of the social connection in a test that either achieves a solid determination or an unfortunate option. This age-related test is alluded to as an emergency. Each of these emergencies speaks to an immediate impression of the individual's social development and societal desires. For Erikson, the most critical procedure of character advancement happens amid immaturity. At this time, people must set up their personality keeping in mind the end goal to make the move from youth to adulthood. From Erikson's point of view, everything that was set up about self in adolescence is re-assessed in puberty. A portion of the segments of the self-idea, self-esteem, and adolescence identity might be held or dismisses in the adolescent’s quest for personality. The examples of improvement that Erikson portrays are identified with what Jean Piaget (1896– 1980) and the intellectual analysts perceive about age-related systems of youths in thinking ("Identity Development"). During middle adolescence, kids build up the limit for legitimate thinking, however just in circumstances with solid illustrations, which denote this as the subjective phase of solid operations. When they reach puberty people, can reason out strongly.
In Hawaii, there is a strong evidence of cultural and gender differences. In customary Hawaiian society, inventive articulation of sex and sexuality was praised as a true part of the human experience. All through Hawaiian history, "mahu" show up as people who recognize their sex amongst male and female. Starting now, ladies are still gradually getting to be equivalent to men. Ladies are gradually discovering equity in the work drive and are likewise taking top of the line employments. Women are turning out to be increasingly free in the family unit too.
