People acquire identity through socialization, learning expectations from their family and culture. There are primary identities formed in childhood and secondary identities like occupation. Different theories view identity formation, such as role learning theory focusing on learning social roles, symbolic interactionism seeing it as a creative process, and psychoanalytic theory emphasizing unconscious factors.
