ABSTRACT Negative identity is an identity that is formed by identifying with roles opposed to societal expectations. This topic has been neglected in prior research, which only focused more consistently on positive identity. This article aims to discuss (1) the importance of the concept of negative identity in contemporary society, (2) the frameworks for empirical research on negative identity formation, and (3) the clinical interventions for youth with a negative identity. In particular, we propose that the concept of negative identity highlights the importance of sociocultural contexts that restrict positive identity development, especially for marginalized youth. This paper opens a novel path for researchers and clinicians regarding the understanding of negatively formed identities and enhances future research.

在当代社会中形成负面身份：揭示最有问题的身份解决方案

摘要 消极身份是通过认同与社会期望相反的角色而形成的身份。这个话题在之前的研究中被忽视了，只是更一致地关注积极的身份。本文旨在讨论（1）负面身份概念在当代社会中的重要性，（2）负面身份形成的实证研究框架，以及（3）负面身份青年的临床干预措施。特别是，我们建议消极身份的概念强调了限制积极身份发展的社会文化背景的重要性，特别是对于边缘化青年。本文为研究人员和临床医生开辟了一条新的途径，了解负面形成的身份并加强未来的研究。
