Abstract

In this chapter, we attempt to clarify our understanding of the term “identity,” as well as how it relates to associated terms such as “self.” We then discuss some key points of division within the existing literature on identity: (1) Is identity viewed primarily as a personal, relational, or collective phenomenon? (2) Is identity viewed as relatively stable, or as fluid and constantly changing? (3) Is identity viewed as discovered, personally constructed, or socially constructed? (4) Should identity be researched using quantitative or qualitative methods? We argue that each of these questions represents, at least to some extent, an artificial distinction. Finally, we outline our aims for this book and describe the contribution of each of the chapters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
