Identity refers to person's self-concept or a person's sense of who he/she is.

In psychology, identity refers to the characteristics, beliefs, values, and personality traits that define an individual and make them unique. It is a complex construct that develops over time and is influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, culture, and personal experiences.

Here are some examples of identity:

The development of identity is a lifelong process, and it can change over time as individuals experience new things and go through different life stages. Psychologists study identity to better understand how people develop and maintain a sense of self, and how this impacts their behavior, relationships, and overall well-being.
