Psychologists most commonly use the term
"identity" to describe PERSONAL IDENTITY,
or the idiosyncratic things that make a person
unique.
Meanwhile, sociologists often use the term to
describe SOCIAL IDENTITY, or the collection
of group memberships that define the
individual.
However, these uses are not proprietary, and each
discipline may use either concept.

CULTURAL IDENTITY refers to the content
of values as guiding principles, to meaningful
symbols, and to life-styles that individuals
share with others, though not necessarily
within recognizable groups.


Identity is a dynamic concept
Each individual is seen to have a repertoire of
identities open to them (social and personal),
each identity informing the individual of who
he is and what this identity entails. Which of
these many identities is most salient for an
individual at any time will vary according to
the social context.
