Uma AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO THE BIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE SELF AND IDENTITY
Abstract
Self and identity are psychosocial constructs studied under different theoretical and methodological perspectives in the neurology and psychology fields without highlighting the continuities and convergences that enable an integrative view of their construction and functioning. Although these concepts are often used interchangeably, several studies have delimited their distinctions and defined identity as a mature and more elaborate configuration of the self, which emerges in early adolescence. With a theoretical focus, the present study aims to present an integrative approach to the biological and psychosocial processes of self and identity construction. To do so, it begins by conceptualizing the self and tracing a path that explores the biological, cognitive-affective, sociocultural and moral components that interact with self and identity construction. Different perspectives based on Piagetian epistemology and Erik Erikson's theory of identity (status and narrative identity) are put into dialogue, highlighting their convergences and complementarities, resulting in an integrative view of identity construction processes.
