Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter investigates multiple social identities and their relationship to selfesteem of adolescents in Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania. Due to economic and political changes, the young generation of these countries has to negotiate the past communist history and democratic transition in complex processes of establishing and developing a sense of self and the emergence of multiple social identities. In addressing these processes, we study ethnic identity (e.g., the degree of identification with the own culture and society, including feelings of belonging and commitment to that society, Phinney & Devich-Navarro, 1997), familial identity (e.g., identification with the familial group, Lopez, Huynh, & Fuligni, 2011), religious identity (e.g., sense of group membership to a religion or set of religious convictions, Nesbitt & Arweck, 2010), and their relationship to selfesteem of youth. We therefore tackle multiple identities through a strength-based perspective of adolescence to outline identities that promote optimal psychological functioning. In so doing, we focus on identity strengths of young people with the aim of better equipping them for the transition to adulthood. Relatedly, in line with increasingly relevant positive psychology approach, it is crucial to advance knowledge that can be translated into applicable interventions. The premise of this chapter is therefore to provide the reader with a better understanding of the contextual conditions which foster optimal identity assets for youth in a multicounty crosscultural perspective as to advance knowledge on identity resources underlying positive adaptation in youth in Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, and Romania.
