Exploring the Impact of Social-Cultural Environments and Interpersonal Relationships on Identity Formation and Recognition in Childhood and Adulthood

Abstract

Personal identity, which includes those holistic qualities that individuals believe are what set them apart from their unique human existence, is widely considered to be significant. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of sociocultural environment on the formation and process of personal identity. This research seeks to provide insight into this complex process, inform social dynamics, and ultimately help improve relationships and promote healthier social interactions. This study holds that personal identity is a synthesis of various social factors and self-consciousness. This combination is a natural phenomenon in people's life course and an indispensable part in the process of pursuing personal growth and development.
