Political identity refers to the psychological and social concepts that individuals use to define themselves in relation to the political world. This includes their affiliations with political parties, ideologies, and social movements, as well as their beliefs and attitudes about political issues. Political identity is shaped by a variety of factors, including socialization, personal experiences, and exposure to media and political discourse. It plays a significant role in influencing how individuals engage with politics, make decisions, and interact with others who have different political identities. Research in this area seeks to understand the formation, maintenance, and consequences of political identity on individual behavior and societal dynamics.
