The concept of identity is one of the most important ideas the
social sciences have investigated in recent years, yet no
introductory textbooks are available to those who want to gain a
sense of this burgeoning field. The first of its kind, this text
provides an introduction to the scientific study of identity
formation, with a focus on youth development. The analyses of the
problems and prospects faced by contemporary young people in
forming identities are placed in the context of societies that
themselves are in transition, further complicating identity
formation and the interrelated processes of self development and
moral-ethical reasoning. In order to sort through what is now a
vast literature on the various aspects of human identity, this book
introduces the Simplified Identity Formation Theory. This theory
cuts through much of the academic jargon that limits the
accessibility of this promising field, and builds an understanding
of human identity from first principles. This book is optimized for
students and instructors, featuring several useful pedagogical
tools and a robust series of online resources: Primer format: the
text synthesizes the vast and disparate literature that has
characterized the field of Identity Studies, with a focus on
identity formation during the transition to adulthood; theory and
research is discussed in plain, non-technical language, using the
author's new Simplified Identity Formation Theory. In-text
pedagogy: to enhance student engagement, box insert and in-text
examples from current events, popular culture, and social media are
incorporated throughout the text; key terms are in bold in each
chapter and combined in a glossary at the end of the text. Online
resources for instructors: A robust set of resources that, when
combined with the text, provides a complete blueprint for designing
an identity course; resources include PowerPoint Presentations,
test bank, sample syllabi, and instructor manuals for both
face-to-face and online courses that include weekly written
assignment questions and discussion-forum questions along with
essay topic ideas and grading rubrics. Online resources for
students: a student manual, flashcards, practice quizzes, and
exercises with video links.
