ABSTRACT Identity development occurs in the context of real-time interactions. However, existing research on interactions has focused on identity processes and little is known about identity content development within interactions. We define real-time identity as claims about selves, formulated in the service of an interactional “social business.” The aim of this methodological paper is to introduce Iterative Micro-Content Analysis (IMICA) as an approach to studying the changes and consistencies in real-time identity content. We outline four key principles of IMICA and offer a step by step guide to its analytic stages. We provide two worked examples for illustration: a video-recorded conversation between two young women on the topic of “love and desire,” and audio-recorded speed-dating conversations between young same-sex attracted men. The worked examples demonstrate how IMICA can be used to study how identity claims change within a single interaction as well as across multiple interactions. We argue that IMICA’s empirical insights into the concrete mechanisms through which social interactions shape identities are of both theoretical and practical relevance. We discuss how IMICA may allow for a micro-level operationalization of macro-level concepts (e.g., exploration or identity centrality), outline how it may be combined with quantitative analyses, and discuss its limitations.

迭代微身份内容分析:研究实时交互内和跨实时交互的身份开发

摘要 身份开发发生在实时交互的背景下。然而,现有的交互研究主要集中在身份过程上,而对交互中的身份内容开发知之甚少。我们将实时身份定义为关于自我的主张,为互动的“社交企业”服务而制定。这篇方法论论文的目的是介绍迭代微内容分析 (IMICA) 作为一种研究实时身份内容变化和一致性的方法。我们概述了 IMICA 的四个关键原则,并提供了其分析阶段的分步指南。我们提供了两个工作示例来说明:两个年轻女性之间关于“爱与欲望”主题的视频对话,以及年轻同性吸引男性之间的音频快速约会对话。工作示例演示了如何使用 IMICA 来研究身份声明如何在单个交互中以及在多个交互中发生变化。我们认为,IMICA 对社会互动塑造身份的具体机制的经验见解具有理论和实践相关性。我们讨论了 IMICA 如何允许宏观层面概念(例如探索或身份中心性)在微观层面的操作化,概述它如何与定量分析相结合,并讨论其局限性。我们认为,IMICA 对社会互动塑造身份的具体机制的经验见解具有理论和实践相关性。我们讨论了 IMICA 如何允许宏观层面的概念(例如探索或身份中心性)在微观层面上进行操作,概述它如何与定量分析相结合,并讨论其局限性。我们认为,IMICA 对社会互动塑造身份的具体机制的经验见解具有理论和实践相关性。我们讨论了 IMICA 如何允许宏观层面的概念(例如探索或身份中心性)在微观层面上进行操作,概述它如何与定量分析相结合,并讨论其局限性。
