Self-categorization and personal identity: Integrating group and personality processes

该项目将保持和促进澳大利亚对社会心理学的贡献，并加强国际合作。它还将支持一个高知名度的研究人员，并有助于学生的质量研究培训。该项目质疑了人们普遍认为个人身份和个人自我（我们如何定义自己与他人不同-“我”或“我”）相对稳定的观点。它探讨的可能性，即个人身份可以是稳定的和可变的取决于一系列因素。 该项目告知我们如何理解人格过程以及我们的团体成员（工作，家庭，机构）在塑造我们的个人自我和相关态度，信仰和价值观方面所发挥的作用。

This project will maintain and advance Australia's contribution to social psychology and strengthen international collaboration. It also will support a high-profile researcher and contribute to the quality research training of students. The project questions the widespread belief that personal identity and the personal self (how we define ourselves as being unique from others - the 'I' or 'me') are relatively stable. It explores the possibility that personal identity can be both stable and variable depending on a range of factors. The project informs how we understand personality processes and the role that our group memberships (work, family, institutions) play in shaping our personal selves and associated attitudes, beliefs and values.
