Identity research is a multidisciplinary field that explores how individuals define themselves and perceive their place in the world. This includes studying how identity is formed, maintained, and expressed in various contexts such as cultural, social, and psychological aspects. Researchers in this field examine factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion that shape individual identities and how these identities can influence behavior, beliefs, and relationships with others. Identity research can provide insights into understanding issues related to self-esteem, self-concept, identity development, and social interactions.
