Question 2

​In the context of self-awareness, explain the concept of identity formation.

Accepted Answer

One approach to self-awareness is identity formation. It is the process of determining who you are and what you want out of life. Identity development is a lifelong process; there are gradual changes in identity throughout the lifetime. During the early years, our sense of who we are is largely determined by the reactions of others (the concept of the "looking-glass self").
Glasser indicates that a useful perspective for viewing identity is in terms of a success-versus-failure orientation. Those who develop a success identity view themselves as being generally successful; people who develop a success identity do so through the pathways of love and worth. People who view themselves as a success must feel that at least one other person loves them and also that they love at least one other person. They must feel that at least one other person believes they are worthwhile, and they must feel that they (themselves) are worthwhile. To develop a success identity, a person must experience both love and worth, particularly during childhood. Experiencing only one of these elements (worth or love) without the other can lead to a failure identity. A failure identity is likely to develop when a child has received inadequate love or been made to feel worthless. People with a failure identity are likely to be depressed, lonely, anxious, reluctant to face everyday challenges, and indecisive. However, because identity is a lifelong process, significant positive changes can be achieved, even by those with a serious failure identity.
