Your personal identity is unique to you because no one has the exact same mix of features,
memories, habits, emotional dispositions, and knowledge that you have.Personal identity is
similar to social identity, but personal identities are about all of your unique features whereas
your social identity usually only counts your sociological categorizations.

gender, race, social class.

social relationships rather than, as demographic research suggests, on the social categories to
which they could claim membership.

world. These identities play an important role in shaping self-image. The more people identify
with a particular group, the more that group plays a role in shaping how people feel about
themselves.

Religious identity is one’s sense of group membership and attachment to a religion and the
significance of this membership to one’s self-concept (Peek, 2005). Some students, by choice or
compliance, may express their religious identity by what they wear (e.g., hijab, crucifix, Star of
David) while others may not feel compelled to make public their religious affiliation. Although
there is an assumption that religion/religious affiliation is not a salient part of many emerging
adults identities,
