Identity formation is a developmental milestone for adolescents, and their identities are constructed and re-constructed through their interactions with others and contextual factors in their environment. When considering adolescents with substance use disorders (SUD), often this developmental milestone is misappropriated, misunderstood, and misrepresented. The purpose of this article was to explore how adolescents with substance use disorders form identity and construct a sense of self. Firstly, we explored the identity formation and reconstruction of 20 female adolescents with SUDs based on an in-depth grounded theory methodology (GTM) which included a situational analysis (SA). Secondly, we offered a theoretical model to explain identity construction and reconstruction of adolescents with SUDs that emerged from this research. We conclude this article with practical implications for treatment, and care of adolescents with SUDs.

The aim of the paper is to analyse the identity of Latvian pedagogue and conductor Kārlis Rūdolfs Kreicbergs (1921-2014), by using the author's elaborated theoretical model of identity research (2016), and the integrated author's approbated personality research model (2013). The personality research model, which, in its micro context, includes basic features of his personality - emotions, talent, behaviour and convictions, as well as adaptation characteristics - interests, motivations, values, attitudes, is supplemented with components determining the identity of the pedagogue: in mezzo context in the social environment, where the identity of the pedagogue, as well as family, identity in his everyday life, student's and religious identity is formed, but in micro context, - professional, national, local, political and cultural identity of the personality, thus creating a research model of the multidimensional identity of the teacher and factors influencing development thereof. After the approbated model with the help of qualitative research methods the obtained data are related to theoretical opinions about the identity formation of the pedagogue,  thus approving the innovative character of the proposed theoretical model.

Personal Experiences

The purpose of this study was to describe my academic journey as a gifted Black male with dyslexia. The central research question was the following: What were some of the stories along my academic pathway that seem significant? The research design positioned me inside the culture in which I am the topic of examination. The research methodology used for my analysis was autoethnography, which allows personal experiences to be explored through the intersection between narrative inquiry and ethnography. The approach allowed me to fully articulate my lived experiences, which provided a deeper understanding on how the intersectionality of race, dyslexia, and giftedness influenced my identity formation. An analysis of my journey led to the finding that the intersection of identity categories must be attended to, in order to support the learning of students with “triple-identity.” The article presents a theoretical model for exploring the intersectionality of those elements.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand the challenge of building and managing a favourable organisational reputation for social businesses in light of the complex relations between organisational identity, paradoxical tensions and organisational reputation.Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper combines deductive and inductive approaches. Deductively, the categorisation of Smith and Lewis (2011) was used to identify various types of paradoxical tensions in social businesses. An inductive bottom-up research strategy was also applied, collecting data from a 90-minute ‘open fishbowl’ with six managers and advisers of Israeli social businesses (and approximately 40 undergraduate and graduate students serving as ‘observers’), and 8 interviews with managers and communication professionals of social businesses.Findings: Managers of social businesses that are hybrid-identity organisations face a challenge when trying to build a consistent hybrid identity, thus managing reputation and paradoxical tensions using holistic and dynamic ‘both-and’ or ‘more-than’ approaches.Limitations: The small sample used in this study (an open fishbowl method consisting of only six participants, in addition to 8 interviews) doesn’t enable generalisability, and therefore should be seen as a benchmark for future studies that are larger and include additional methods. In addition, this study might well be culturally biased, because it takes place in only one country.Implications and Contribution: Referring to the theoretical model of Huang-Horowitz (2015) that stresses the importance of achieving consistency in identity in order for an organisation to succeed and have a favourable reputation, the findings reveal that social businesses experience a more complex process of identity formation when trying to build a consistent hybrid identity, using various holistic and dynamic approaches. From a practical perspective managers of hybrid-identity organisations might find it useful to explore how various holistic and dynamic approaches might help them to overcome internal and external paradoxical tensions and manage organisational reputation.
