Here is a question about this article: Erik Erikson (1902-1994) became one of the earliest psychologists to take an explicit interest in identity. The Eriksonian framework rests upon a distinction among the psychological sense of continuity, known as the ego identity (sometimes identified simply as "the self"); the personal idiosyncrasies that separate one person from the next, known as the personal identity; and the collection of social roles that a person might play, known as either the social identity or the cultural identity. Erikson's work, in the psychodynamic tradition, aimed to investigate the process of identity formation across a lifespan. Progressive strength in the ego identity, for example, can be charted in terms of a series of stages in which identity is formed in response to increasingly sophisticated challenges. The process of forming a viable sense of identity for the culture is conceptualized as an adolescent task, and those who do not manage a resynthesis of childhood identifications are seen as being in a state of 'identity diffusion' whereas those who retain their initially given identities unquestioned have 'foreclosed' identities (Weinreich & Saunderson 2003 p7-8). On some readings of Erikson, the development of a strong ego identity, along with the proper integration into a stable society and culture, lead to a stronger sense of identity in general. Accordingly, a deficiency in either of these factors may increase the chance of an identity crisis or confusion (Cote & Levine 2002, p. 22).
What is the answer to this question: Who was one of the earliest psychologists to take an explicit interest in identity?
Erik Erikson
Här är en fråga om denna artikel: Erik Erikson (1902-1994) blev en av de tidigaste psykologerna att intressera sig för identitet. Den Eriksoniska ramen bygger på en distinktion mellan den psykologiska kontinuitetskänslan, känd som egoidentiteten (ibland identifierad som "jaget"), de personliga egenheter som skiljer den ena personen från den andra, känd som den personliga identiteten, och den samling sociala roller som en person kan spela, känd som antingen den sociala identiteten eller den kulturella identiteten. Eriksons arbete, i den psykodynamiska traditionen, syftade till att undersöka processen för identitetsbildning över en livstid. Progressiv styrka i egoidentiteten kan till exempel kartläggas i termer av en rad stadier där identitet bildas som svar på alltmer sofistikerade utmaningar. Processen att skapa en livskraftig identitetskänsla för kulturen konceptualiseras som en ungdomsuppgift, och de som inte hanterar en återsyntes av barndomsidentifikationer ses som i ett tillstånd av "identitetsspridning" medan de som behåller sina ursprungligen givna identiteter obestridda har "förutsägbara" identiteter (Weinreich & Saunderson 2003 s7-8). På vissa uppläsningar av Erikson leder utvecklingen av en stark egoidentitet, tillsammans med den korrekta integrationen i ett stabilt samhälle och kultur, till en starkare identitetskänsla i allmänhet. En brist på någon av dessa faktorer kan därför öka risken för en identitetskris eller förvirring (Cote & Levine 2002, s. 22). Vad är svaret på denna fråga: Vem var en av de tidigaste psykologerna som visade uttryckligt intresse för identitet?

Erikson's work, in the psychodynamic tradition, aimed to investigate the process of identity formation over a lifetime. For example, progressive strength in ego identity can be mapped in terms of a series of stages where identity is formed in response to increasingly sophisticated challenges. The process of creating a viable sense of identity for culture is conceptualized as a youth task, and those who do not handle a resynthesis of childhood identifications are seen as in a state of "identity spread" while those who retain their originally given identities have "predictable" identities (Weinreich & Saunderson 2003 p7-8). In some readings by Erikson, the development of a strong ego identity, along with the correct integration into a stable society and culture, leads to a stronger sense of identity in general. A lack of any of these factors may therefore increase the risk of an identity crisis or confusion (Cote & Levine 2002, p. 22).
