role
A role (also rôle or social role) is a set of connected behaviors, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms as conceptualized by people in a social situation. It is an expected or free or continuously changing behavior and may have a given individual social status or social position. It is vital to both functionalist and interactionist understandings of society. Social role theory posits the following about social behavior:
online identity
social identity that an Internet user establishes in online communities and websites
personal branding
marketing brand used to represent a single person or their career to a public
third culture individual
individuals who are raised in a culture other than their parents' culture
therian
person who experiences having a non-human animal identity
self-schema
The self-schema refers to a long lasting and stable set of memories that summarize a person's beliefs, experiences and generalizations about the self, in specific behavioral domains. A person may have a self-schema based on any aspect of themselves as a person–including physical characteristics (body image), personality traits, and interests–as long as they consider that aspect of their self to be important to their own self-definition.
