Topic

I have chosen to expand on the Identity Management Theory since the Wikipedia page is not very expanded on. In addition, this theory can relate to my personal life and is something that we face day to day according to Cupach and Imahori. Also, this theory was established in the 1990's and is a newer topic in intercultural communication. Therefore, I would like to further expand on this area over the next couple months for a class project. I am compiling a couple sources to help me get started.

Rough Draft of Article Expansion

Identity Management Theory is a recent idea that was proposed in the 1990's. Cupach and Imahori based this theory on a book from the 1960's. The book, Interaction ritual: Essays on face-to-face behavior, should be further expanded in order to understand the theory it was based on. Interestingly, Cupach and Imahori separate two types of communication; intercultural and intraculteral. Both these communication subgroups will be further researched in order to see the basis for this theory. Also, identities will be expanded on to fully grasp what Identity Management Theory is about.
      Erving Goffman is an author who helped the originators of IMT base their theory off of. Goffman was a well-known sociologist and writer. It makes sense that the IMT mentions his contribution, since he is the most cited sociologist from his writings because of what he studied in communication Goffman Wikipedia Site. Among the six essays that make up Goffman's book, the first essay shows an individual's self image while communicating. The author explained that the self-image that is obtained during interacting is not permanent and has a large social influence. The image someone gets in a social setting is than expected for the future. The risk of changing self-image in a social context will alter how the individual feels about oneself. The author was implying that often times the defense mechanism is to retract from showing your self to much in a social setting so others do not see them in a displeasing way. The idea of the Identity Management Theory uses the ideas by Goffman to help establish what the idea behind the theory is trying to get at. 
       Intercultural verse intracultural communication varies significantly. Intercultural communication is based on a much greater scheme of things. This type of communication refers to a group of people that differ in backgrounds, whether that is religion, ethnic, education, or social backgrounds. Intercultural communication looks at how the world is viewed, how messages are interpreted,and how differing cultures react to situations [Communication ]. On the contrary, intracultural communication discusses how people of the same background interact with one another. I thought it was interesting that there was not a Wikipedia page discussing this concept. It is very important to compare and contrast the opposite of intercultural communication to understand the similarities and differences. With little research done on intracultural communication, I am unable to correlate the two types of communication. 
      The last concept to expand on is identity. Identity is directly connected with the Identity Management Theory since it helps define what this theory is trying to explain. Even though identity is a very broad topic, I will discuss personal identity through the lens of the individual, which will than effect its social identity. Identity is said to be the "distinct personality of an individual" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_%28social_science%29. It is interesting to hear that identity is both the identity one holds of themselves. Also, identity is the perception that someone holds in a social setting. Identity can be broken down even more by distinguishing specific characteristics within each individual and in different social setting. I am in awe that identity is not consistent and may be constantly changing. Each of the three concepts that were looked at will help expand on the Identity Management Theory. Each of these ideas directly correlate with the theory and will be useful in explaining this theory.

Actions done on the Topic Talk Page

This is all the information that I have posted on the actual Identity Management Theory talk page. I have had a great discussion with a couple of other individuals who are also exploring this topic further. It is so great to have help with additional sources from these individuals. This includes sources. In addition, I am able to use the other sources that people have suggested that I use on this idea.

This article does not have a good expansion about this theory. According to intercultural communication, this theory will greatly expand my knowledge on this subject matter. As this theory is of great interest to myself, however there is very vague information (stub) addressing this theory. In order to improve this article, there needs to be more expansion and exploration done. I will refer back to this article often and consider relating this to my future goals.

Lynsbrow (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2013 (UTC) I have found difficulty finding research on this theory but intend to use the research I have found to help me expand the subject. Lynsbrow (talk) 04:13, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Lynsey

Wiki 6 and on...

I have posted the 3-4 paragraph article that I wrote onto the talk page. Also, I have already explained what I hope to add to the article talk page so I can help other people who ever look onto this theory.

For an Intercultural Communication class, I am looking into this topic. This is a starting article that gives the premise of what is already known of what is known about this theory. Also, I will use the sources I found. In addition, I will use the other recommended sources to make my edits for the next draft of the article to add to the main page. Lynsbrow (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2013 (UTC) Wiki #8 The draft has been continually edited to make it be a comprehensive and well-written expansion of IMT. I will peer review Haleyhook on her article critique for cultural conflict. The second peer review will be Sweatshops by Laurenleaf. Wiki #9 I have peer reviewed both Haleyhook and Laurenleaf articles. These were discussed and posted in the article talk pages of the article talk pages. However, Haleyhook only mentioned some bullet points on what she intends to accomplish and than her hopes for at the end of the final draft. I posted suggestions on the article talk page for her. Laurenleaf did a good job starting off her starter draft. i posted very few suggestions since I feel she did a good job. Laurenleaf I feel you did a good job explaining the basics of sweatshops. I feel you did a good job on your starter draft. Some minor suggestions include maybe getting a statistic of the suicide rates in the Chinese Sweatshops. This may add intensity to the article and make it known to the readers the severity of the issue. Also, I think you are going in a good direction in regards to closing the gap between the laborers and how the sweatshops are still running. It would be a great connect to see how large of an impact that laborers play in part of the equation for sweatshops. Lynsbrow (talk) 23:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Lynsbrow

Organizing the article's page will make it easy for viewers to see what the main points of this conflict are. Also, I like your approach on breaking down the issue entirely. Not only do conflicts exist between cultures and within cultures, but you brought up a valid point on how to respond to the issue. The bullet points that you broke down regarding areas that will need to be taken into perspective are very key points that will really address greater causes of conflict. I think you have a great foundation to start writing your final draft to add to the article's page. Great job and can not wait to see the final project.

Wiki #10 I have had most my interaction between other individuals who are working on expanding the IMT wikipedia page. We have interacted and helped others with more sources to base our research on. Also, another individual mentioned that one article I used was not necessarily relevant to the topic. Therefore, I edited my draft and did not use that source. For now, this is all the interaction I have had with people on my article edit but will add any further commentary if I speak with classmates prior to the semester concluding.

Wiki #6- I need to make my purpose for this article much more specific. Since the article is not very established, I need to find more specific details about the article. I now propose to make the following changes. I first want to explain what the relevance is behind this topic. Identity is a very general term and this theory has many subtopics to it that may be of interest to others. For my personal reasons, I want to really analyze why this theory was even created. It seems to be a very general theory that does not have factual knowledge to support its arguments. I will need to look at the historical context in order to find the relevance of IMT. These changes are a bit more specific and attainable.

Wiki #10 My original article was this: Identity Management Theory is a recent idea that was proposed in the 1990's. Cupach and Imahori based this theory on a book from the 1960's. The book, Interaction ritual: Essays on face-to-face behavior, should be further expanded in order to understand the theory it was based on. Interestingly, Cupach and Imahori separate two types of communication; intercultural and intraculteral. Both these communication subgroups will be further researched in order to see the basis for this theory. Also, identities will be expanded on to fully grasp what Identity Management Theory is about.

Erving Goffman is an author who helped the originators of IMT base their theory off of. Goffman was a well-known sociologist and writer. It makes sense that the IMT mentions his contribution, since he is the most cited sociologist from his writings because of what he studied in communication Goffman Wikipedia Site.

The author was implying that often times the defense mechanism is to retract from showing your self to much in a social setting so others do not see them in a displeasing way. The idea of the Identity Management Theory uses the ideas by Goffman to help establish what the idea behind the theory is trying to get at.

Intercultural verse intracultural communication varies significantly. Intercultural communication is based on a much greater scheme of things. This type of communication refers to a group of people that differ in backgrounds, whether that is religion, ethnic, education, or social backgrounds. Intercultural communication looks at how the world is viewed, how messages are interpreted,and how differing cultures react to situations [Communication ]. On the contrary, intracultural communication discusses how people of the same background interact with one another. I thought it was interesting that there was not a Wikipedia page discussing this concept. It is very important to compare and contrast the opposite of intercultural communication to understand the similarities and differences. With little research done on intracultural communication, I am unable to correlate the two types of communication.

The last concept to expand on is identity. Identity is directly connected with the Identity Management Theory since it helps define what this theory is trying to explain. Even though identity is a very broad topic, I will discuss personal identity through the lens of the individual, which will than effect its social identity. Identity is said to be the "distinct personality of an individual" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_%28social_science%29. It is interesting to hear that identity is both the identity one holds of themselves. Also, identity is the perception that someone holds in a social setting. Identity can be broken down even more by distinguishing specific characteristics within each individual and in different social setting. I am in awe that identity is not consistent and may be constantly changing. Each of the three concepts that were looked at will help expand on the Identity Management Theory. Each of these ideas directly correlates with the theory.

I have made suggested changes from my professor. Also, I took a few comments from the wikipedians that helped me use more credible sources. My final draft that I will post on the IMT page is:

Identity has many subtopics that distinguish why this theory is specific and different than other identity theories. Specific characteristics explain how people feel about themselves as an individual and in a social setting.

Peer Review, by Rodmer Lomboy

Hi, I really enjoyed reading your work on Identity Management Theory. This topic has already been interesting to me, and your work has furthered my curiosity in this area of identity theories. Your work has been excellently documented and there is a logical flow to what you are trying to expand on. Great work. Rodmer Lomboy (talk) 22:11, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
