It occurs from experiences in certain contexts, the person considering its ontological, social and cultural aspects.

“…If we remember that we must take into account aspects of identity (Rodrigues, Stobäus, & Mosquera, 2016: p. 1119, it should be noted that we must: […] make some links between the constituent elements of the construction of the identity concept in Psychology, with the Positive Psychology, among them well-being, self-esteem, self-image and resilience, trying to delineate the possibility of having the identity (more) healthy, a possible object of study in the field of study.

“…O autor tem como uma das conclusões da sua tese que o processo identitário, dos professores envolvidos, é contínuo, flexível e dinâmico interferindo de forma direta nas suas ações pedagógicas. Rodrigues (2016), ao analisar o impacto da gestão no processo identitário de um docente em uma insti-tuição pública de ensino superior, verificou que a prá-tica da gestão provocou mudanças concretas na identidade do docente, tornando-o mais apto ao exercício de condução do cargo de coordenação, levando-a a criar estratégias pessoais para lidar com as pressões institucionais. Para isto, a autora afirmou que o docente em questão, travava, para este fim, lutas pessoais de autoconhecimento e autocontrole e considerou que, de uma forma geral, observa-se que, direta ou indiretamente, sempre há uma articulação entre os processos identitários do docente, as demandas institucionais e suas práticas profissionais.…”
