The collective and Individual Identity formation: Autobiografic narratives of preadolescent " Emo"

Our research is predominantly esplorative, however it is based on the assumption that Emo-guys construct their identity by using the aggregation group particularly significantly. Adolescent peer crowds can be defined as groups of aggregation based on a concrete possibility of Values and Beliefs sharing, facilitated by personal and socio-cultural characteristics such as look outer, language, interesting in common (Brown et al., 1994). Our hypothesis is that for Emo-guys such aggregation is characterized by greater contrast between in-group and out-group. They feel out-group like extremely different from in-group (Bennett, 2001; Brake, 1985; Thurlow, 2001). Therefore we deem that the membership Emo group can influence the way in which adolescents conceptualise and define themselves, in particular, the self-other relationship.
