Abstrakt		Identity in a broader sense means a more authentic experiencing of oneself which contributes to a more favourable estimation of ones capability and ability coping with life challenges and managing of one's own life. According to Erikson, identity is experienced during the whole life, but is most dynamic and intensive especially in childhood and adolescence. However, this is only one side; the other is contributed by the society. For an independent inclusion into society it is important, namely that an adolescent (and later on, of course, an adult) is accepted by the people, and that his/her deeds and endeavours are acknowledged. In the period of adulthood social pressures do not yield and forgive. The more a profession is demanding, responsible and under an incessant exposure of public criticism, the more a person can find himself in the dark, on the cross-roads, in a vacuum; which as a consequence may lead to at least an intellectual skepsis if not to a more severe existential distress. An individual in the society is therefore not an isolated island he/she does not live by him/herself or side by side with another person, but one with the other resp. one through the other. Human ideas, perceptions and sensations of oneself and subjective perception of the world and in connedion with this, the forming of the PERSONAL IDENTITY does not depend merely on the person's interpretations, views and expectations, but also (or maybe more so) by recognition and acknowledgement by the others. An individual identifies himself with such social verifications. This is therefore a matter of adjustment and adaptation of one's own private opinion (autoreflexion) with the opinion, which is in the firm possession of the society (SOCIAL IDENTITY).

Izvleček		Identiteta širše pomeni bolj avtentično doživljanje samega sebe, kar prispeva k ugodnejši oceni svojih zmožnosti in sposobnosti, obvladovanja življenjskih izzivov ter upravljanje lastnega življenja. Po Eriksonu je identiteta dogajanje, ki poteka vse življenje, vendar je najbolj dinamično in intenzivno prav v otroški in mladostni dobi. A to je le en del. Drugega prispeva družba. Pomembno je namreč, da mladostnika (in kasneje seveda tudi odraslega) Ijudje sprejmejo, da dobi priznanje za svoja dejanja in prizadevanja za samostojno vključitev v družbo. V obdobju odraslosti družbeni pritiski ne popuščajo in ne oproščajo. Bolj kot je poklic zahteven, odgovoren, pod nenehnim očesom kritične javnosti, pogosteje se lahko človek znajde v temi, na križpotju, v vakuumu; kar ima lahko najmanj za posledico intelektualno skepso, če že ne hujšo eksistencialno stisko. Posameznik v družbi torej ni osamljeni otok, ne živi sam zase ali drug poleg drugega, marveč drug z drugim oziroma drug "skozi" drugega. Ćlovekove predstave, dojemanja in občutenja samega sebe ter subjektivna percepcija sveta in s tem v zvezi oblikovanje OSEBNE IDENTITETE, pa ni odvisno zgolj od njegovih interpretacij, stališč in pričakovanj, marveč tudi (ali še zlasti) od pripoznanj in priznanj s strani drugih. S takšnimi socialnimi verifikacijami se posameznik identificira. Gre torej za usklajevanje in prilagajanje zasebnega mnenja o sebi (avtorefleksija) z mnenjem, ki je v trdni posesti družbe (SOCIALNA IDENTITETA). Od sposobnosti razreševanja nasprotja in ohranjanja ravnotežja med osebno in socialno identiteto pa je odvisna tretja, a ključna identiteta - IDENTITETA JAZA (ali JAZ IDENTITETA), ki je cilj slehernega individua. Posameznik jo doseže, ko mu uspe, ob sočasnem sprejemanju in odbijanju pričakovanj in zahtev drugih Ijudi, oblikovati in ohraniti posebno individualnost in se z njo predstaviti navzven.
