Identity is a social construct in addition to a self-structure. The distinguishes one person from another and what connects them is both a societal and personal construct. Individuals define themselves in relation to others in their particular social contexts during this process. Identity, is the result of how an individual's sense of self and their social surroundings interact. As a result, identity can be described as a process of self-definition under the constraints of people's social settings. Identity development can be thought of as a continuum, with an integrated personal identity at one end and identity dispersal (incoherent self-image, self-fragmentation) at the other. Identity diffusion is often seen as the foundation for subsequent personality disorder, resulting in a wide range of maladaptive and dysfunctional behaviors. It is a key component of the "borderline personality organization". Parenting methods, such as supporting academic accomplishment, are goals-oriented, whereas parenting style refers to the overall emotional environment in which specific parent-child interactions take place. This is how parenting style differs from parenting practices. Children can learn certain beneficial skills through interaction with their parents. The abilities included communication, language, and problem-solving impulsivity, appropriate social behavior, and expectations. These abilities can lower the likelihood that teenagers would participate in unhealthy conduct, such as aggression. Based on the inclusion or removal of two variables, Diane Baumrind's early work on parenting style defined parents as having one of three parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, or indulgent-permissive (responsiveness and demandingness).
