Fluidity of Identity – This type of identity is the idea that people can change themselves through their appearance, their actions and the world.

Constructed Identity – The identity development is a complex process in which humans and people develop and clear sight of themselves and have a specific view on themselves.

Negotiated Identity – This is the process that people agree and perceive you as, and identify ‘who is who’ is their relationships.

Collective Identity – This is the sense of belonging to a group, having the same interests as the peers around you, however it does not mean you and another person are the same. They share the same ideas.

David Gauntlett- Identity

  1. Fluidity of identity– The ability to change how you identify yourself. For example, gender is fluid, you can choose to identify as the binary ‘stereotype’ male or female, or you can identify as more fluid- non-binary, transgender, gender-fluid etc.
  2. Constructed identity– Identifying yourself differently to others by things you go through and things you have interests in.
  3. Negotiated identity– The idea in which you come to an agreement of ‘who is who’.
  4. Collective identity– A shared identification between people and groups. For example, liking a specific genre of music- you all belong to that collective identity.

Fluidity Of Identity –having the ability to change how you look at yourself ,the world and actions.

Constructed Identity – There are a lot of things people could use to construct their own identities. Media helps to build an identity for ourselves to suggest ways of living by acting on advice or recognising ourselves in a character of a film.

Negotiated Identity – where your desired appearance to other people meets the expectation that other people perceive you as. Showing how we want a balance between our own desires and with others and retaining our own strong identity. 

Collective Identity – Our likeliness to try to ‘fit in’ with others and engage. we refer to our sense of belonging to group, weather that be out of a shared interest/experience or even something in common. Our desire to engage with others and “fit in”. These groups could be social, religious, occupational or gendered.

IDENTITIES


Constructed identity
– Opinions from others, online media, television and newspapers feed us ideas and opinions that construct an identity or a personality for ourselves.

Fluidity of identity– Going with the flow of other opinions and stereotypes of a gender. Letting their personality be decided by the regular view of their gender.

Collective identity– The idea of having your personality decided by others and being in a group where you all share the same ideas.

Negotiated identity– Having an equal balance between fitting in with others and sharing the same opinion as them and then having your own opinions and goals.
