It is honor to invite you to attend a lecture of our colleague Milica Ljevaja as a part of the cycle of lectures by new researchers at the Institute of Social Sciences.
The lecture will be devoted to the linkage between identity and mental health. When determining identity, different aspects of it will be pointed out – people exhibit unique characteristics, perform different social roles, or establish relationships with other individuals and groups.
This diversity in focusing on different aspects of identity is reflected in the so-called identity orientations.
According to the Tetrapartite model of the self, there are four such orientations: personal, public, relational, and collective identity. During the lecture, the possibility that identity contributes to mental health through the fulfillment of basic psychological needs will be emphasized, as well as the importance of harmonizing our personal characteristics with the characteristics of the culture in which we live for that relationship.
