This paper explores beginning dietetic practitioners’ perspectives on the process of becoming dietetics professionals through the use of vignettes to illuminate the complex process of professional socialization.  Embedded in these vignettes are three themes related to the socialization process that occurs in the early years of dietetic practice: congruence, resilience, and relationships.  Our findings indicate that new dietitians struggle to develop their dietitian identity.  They feel unprepared for the relational and practice realities of the workplace and find the transition from dietetic intern to dietitian challenging.  They seek many ways to cope including seeking support from others and planning for the future but some consider leaving the profession.  It is important to understand the professional socialization and identity formation processes that occur during the early years of practice to ensure that dietitians feel prepared and supported as they begin their careers.

В меняющихся социально-экономических условиях происходит нарушение развития личностной идентичности педагогов, что приводит к искажению (деформации) ее структурных компонентов. В связи с этим необходим научный поиск путей преодоления кризиса идентичности и построение программ развития подсистем личностной (индивидуальной) и социальной (профессиональной) идентичности педагогов, адекватных изменившимся условиям. В работе изучены уровни дифференцированности идентичности, рефлексивности, особенности эмоционально-оценочного тона идентификационных характеристик, соотношение личностных и социальных компонент в самоопределении идентичности. Выборку исследования составили 132 педагога образовательных учреждений г. Киселёвска Кемеровской области в возрасте 24–63 лет с педагогическим стажем от 1 года до 35 лет. Все педагоги разделены на шесть групп в соответствии с периодизацией профессионального становления В. А. Дмитриевского. Для всех испытуемых характерна негармоничность элементов идентичности, преобладание социальных компонент (учебно-профессиональные и семейно-клановые характеристики) в структуре самоописаний, средний уровень рефлексивности и низкий уровень самопринятия. Полученные данные интерпретируются с точки зрения теорий профессионального становления и формирования идентичности. In the changing socio-economic conditions there is a developmental impairment of teachers’ personal identity, which leads to a distortion (deformation) of its structural components. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a scientific search for ways to overcome the identity crisis and build programs for the development of subsystems of personal (individual) and social (professional) teachers’ identity that are adequate to changing conditions. The aim of the study was to investigate the levels of differentiation, reflexivity, features of the emotional-evaluative tone of identification characteristics, the ratio of personal and social components in self-determination of identity. Research sample consists of 132 teachers of educational institutions of the city of Kiselevsk, Kemerovo region, aged 24 to 63 years, with pedagogical experience from 1 year to 35 years. All teachers were divided into 6 groups in accordance with the periodization of the professional development of V. A. Dmitrievsky. All subjects were characterized by the the inharmony of elements of identity, the predominance of social components (educational, professional and family-clan characteristics) in the structure of self-descriptions, the average level of reflectivity and a low level of self-acceptance. The received data were interpreted from the point of view of theories of professional formation and identity formation.

The article presents the results of the study of factors, patterns and conditions for the formation of personal identity in student age. The conceptual provisions of the theory of integral individuality of V. S. Merlin, the integrative psychology of development of V. V. Belous and I. V. Boyazitova, the conceptual model of the personal potential of D. A. Leontiev served as the methodological basis for the study of subjectivity as the basic construct of the formation of personal identity among students. The article reveals the features of the development of subjectivity with different status of personal identity, the specifics of the relationship of personal identity with the properties of personal and socio-psychological levels of subjectivity at the student age. It is experimentally proved that the status of personal identity at the student age is determined by the development of multi-level properties of subjectivity, but to a greater extent is due to the development of properties that characterize psychological stability and self-regulation of a person. For the first time, the results are presented that reveal the patterns of achieving personal identity. The article describes the technology of implementing psychological support for the development of subjectivity as a basic condition for achieving a stable personal identity, aimed at forming the ability to understand and build a life perspective, to make independent conscious choices, developing moral stability and moral and ethical responsibility, teaching skills of confident behavior and active response to social changes in the student age. The results of the research can be used in the practice of psychological services of the University in the development of programs for the formation of a stable personal identity, the development of subjective activity, in the process of providing individual and group counseling during the period of adaptation to training and professional training crises.

Dense Concentration

Conglomerations of modern cities are becoming increasingly fractional/disintegrated. An urban person turns into a special type of a person called “homo urbis”, capable of living in a "stone jungle" of performance, in a dense concentration of urban culture objects and amongst the most heterogeneous human mass. The modern civilizational paradigm predetermines the dynamics of the processes of socio-cultural personal identity formation performance in urban culture environment, as well as its globalization and glocalization. The very phenomenon of personal identity in modern urban culture falls into the spectrum of multiple "identities", its evolutionary and critical performance processes. All socio-cultural and civilizational interactions of urban cultural environment are mixed up in existential contradictions. Clear and distinct bases of the traditional world are giving way to civilizationally complex chaos, diverse cultural multilayer and their intricate interlacement. The coexistence of numerous axiological patterns, stereotypes, narratives and metanarratives of the city result in colossal ideological and spiritual tension, where a person has been considered the core of the concentration of the crisis problems since the Socratic anthropological turn. In this connection, the problem of determination and creation of an urban personality, by all means, should be supplemented with the most important heuristic and ontological component – the search for personal identity, as the correlation of the ever-forming civilizational mass of existence with the process of self-reflection of an individual.

The aim of this article is to survey the implications of the identity/alterity nexus in international relations (IR) as related to processes of othering for understanding conflict and violence in global politics. I will offer what I could call an ontology of difference in global politics, where I stress the reliance of understanding othering practices in global politics, as I explore two cases from which I ask the following questions: How do identity and identity formation processes occur and develop at different levels, times and dimensions? How do discourses of differentiation and identification help construct state identities and interests? Following Emmanuel Lévinas, I will argue that by seeking ways to reach out towards the Other, we free ourselves from the restraints of selfishness, from indifference and isolation. Finding and coming to terms with a composition of the Self that also includes the Other enables us to take responsibility for him/her inasmuch it prevents the conditions for violence and conflict.

Over Time

Personal identity formation represents a core developmental challenge for adolescents and young adults. Because much of the identity literature focuses on college students, it is necessary to conduct a detailed inquiry into the ways in which specific commitment and exploration processes develop over time for college students and for employed individuals. Two samples (456 college students and 318 employed individuals) were used to identify identity status trajectories over time and to examine external correlates of these trajectories (i.e. depressive symptoms, self–esteem, identity centrality, community integration, and sense of adulthood). Similar identity trajectories emerged in both college students and employed individuals. Four of these trajectories corresponded to Marcia's identity statuses. In addition, apart from the ‘classical’ or troubled diffusion trajectory, a carefree diffusion trajectory was also obtained. Whereas individuals on an identity–achieved pathway fared best in terms of the outcome measures, individuals in the troubled diffusion trajectory fared worst in terms of self–esteem, depressive symptoms, and community integration over time. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
