Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of studying the personal identity of Sami adolescents living in the Arctic territories of Russia. The study aims to study the characteristics of the personal identity of Sami boys and Sami girls in adolescence. The article presents the results of an empirical study carried out according to the methodology developed based on the test “Who am I?” developed by Kuhn and McPartland. The respondents were 39 Sami adolescents aged 12-13 years and 40 Sami adolescents aged 14-15 years. All respondents were from the indigenous Sami people. When studying personal identity, we analyzed the characteristics corresponding to each identity component: gender, social, ethnic, family, professional, individual, physical, active and undifferentiated. The study results made it possible to reveal the characteristics of the personal identity of Sami adolescents compared to the personal identity of their Russian peers. The data obtained expand modern psychological ideas about the patterns of personality development in adolescence, how the human psyche functions in a changing world, and clarify the meaningful characteristics of the psychological portrait of a modern adolescent.
