'''Identity formation''' is the [[process]] of the development of the distinct personality of an [[individual]] regarded as a persisting [[entity]] (known as [[personal continuity]]) in a particular stage of life in which individual characteristics are possessed by which a person is recognized or known (such as the establishment of a [[reputation]]). This process defines an individual to [[other]]s and [[self|themselves]]. Pieces of the entity's actual identity include a sense of continuity, a sense of [[uniqueness]] from others, and a sense of [[affiliation]]. Identity formation leads to a number issues of [[Personal identity (philosophy)|personal identity]] and an [[Identity (social science)|identity]] where the individual has some sort of comprehension of him or herself as a discrete, separate entity. This may be through [[individuation]] whereby the undifferentiated individual tends to become unique, or undergoes stages through which differentiated facets of a person's life tend toward becoming a more indivisible whole.
