A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
One way of understanding identity is by considering it as embedded and dynamically related to its social context. From this point of view, identities are formed in the moment-to-moment actions, such as interactions with others. Identity development research has focused mostly on processes of identity (e.g., exploration), resulting in a gap in current knowledge of the topics and domains that are seen as relevant to identity (identity content). Acknowledging this gap, the present qualitative study aims to investigate the type, frequency, and distribution overtime of identity domains. Specifically, the study consisted of conversations from a same-sex speed- dating event. Conversations were recorded and transcribed, and references to one’s identity (i.e., identity claims) were organized under domains and used for subsequent analysis. Results revealed a strong prevalence of personal identity claims in comparison to other domains such as dating and gender. Furthermore, great irregularity was observed in the domain trajectories over the speed-dating rounds. The study provides some insight into identity content and positions itself as an additional step toward a more comprehensive understanding of identity.
