PSYCHOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW
Cognitive development of the person.• Piaget: Progressive reorganization of mental process.• Children construct knowledge from experience.
Significant learning
Personality: is built from the experience and the different aspects we pick up during life. Self-identity: One of these aspects that each person adquires and is part of each person’s features.
When we become teenagers:
SOCIAL SUPPORT and look for others who share the same interests so we feel identified.
Need to increase self-esteem.
Build up relationships and trust(Having things in common link people)
Aim/goal. (reasonabl
e use)
Two different points of
view
+ Effect: increase
happiness and
stimulates well-being.
- Effect: barrier for face-to-
face interactio

Identity -- project of the self
"identity" only becomes an issue when it is threatened or contested in some way and needs to be explicitly asserted (p2)
Youth: particularly youth in marginalized or subordinated socail groups-are frequently constructed as a "socail problem" or "at risk". (p4) Factors affects identity processes:
gender,race,ethnicity,social group,culture,and local context
Also called sameness, is whatever makes an entity definable and recognizable, it is what distinguishes us from other people. on the other hand, identity also implies a relationship with broder collective or socail group of some kind.
Psychological studies--"development" ;"self-image" (a person's mental model of him or herself), self-esteem, and individuality; "gender identity,"
-- a matter of "becoming" rather than "being"--four "identity statuses" : foreclosure; diffusion; moratorium; achievement-- how an individual views him or herself both as a person and in relation to other people, ideas and nature
Sociological studies--"socialization' ;"identity negotiation" -stereotyping or congnitive simplification to distinguish themselves from others and define themselves and their groups in a positive way--identity is a fluid, contingent matters--it is something we accomlish pracally through our ongoing interactions and negotiations with other people.--Identity negotiation is a process in which a person negotiates with society at large regarding the meaning of his or her identity.
"identity" in digital ages: Bricolage fragmented,shifting,partial (Turkle,life on the screen)
ongoing process rather than a fixed possession Young people's interactive uses of new technology can serve as a
modle for identity process. Through the processes of interacting with technologies, identities are
constructed, deconstructed, shaped,tested, and experienced Media consumption helps adolescents identify with youth culture and
"feel connected to a larger peer network, which is united by certain youth-specific values and interestes."
Concepts: adolescent ("in-between stage") self-reflectiom self-definition self-realization personhood personal identity VS. social identity (individual an the group) subversive VS. mainstream online-identity/ offline identity (front-stage/back-stage) social process digital generation technological determinism/information determinism/digital literacy autonomy specific skills in languages and interpersonal communication collaboration and interaction SAB/AIM
Solu
tions
- knowledge in the internet is
based on the idea that all
information should be available to everyone
- internetuse and internetgroups helps the youth to identify him- or herself- belonging to a "tribe" is
natural - it is important to be able to
share thoughts and ideas
Solu
tions
- challenge for the parents and educaters
if the gap between the generations
becomes to big- some danger can occur if the internet
group becomes to tight or closed
- important especially living in the
periphery, or closed or totalitar sociaties
or even in some big cities where
communication in between different
people groups is distance- internet as a new way to communicate
between each other, sharing,
communal, dialectic (philosophy)
- african saying "you need a whole village
to raise a child“
