  • Reflections: an inquiry into medical students' professional Identity Formation
    Medical education, 2014
    Co-Authors: Anne Wong, Karen Trollope-kumar
    Abstract:

    Context Professional Identity Formation plays a crucial role in the transition from medical student to doctor. At McMaster University, medical students maintain a portfolio of narrative reflections of their experiences, which provides for a rich source of data into their professional development. The purpose of this study was to understand the major influences on medical students’ professional Identity Formation. Methods Sixty-five medical students (46 women; 19 men) from a class of 194 consented to the study of their portfolios. In total, 604 reflections were analysed and coded using thematic narrative analysis. The codes were merged under subthemes and themes. Common or recurrent themes were identified in order to develop a descriptive framework of professional Identity Formation. Reflections were then analysed longitudinally within and across individual portfolios to examine the professional Identity Formation over time with respect to these themes. Results Five major themes were associated with professional Identity Formation in medical students: prior experiences, role models, patient encounters, curriculum (formal and hidden) and societal expectations. Our longitudinal analysis shows how these themes interact and shape pivotal moments, as well as the iterative nature of professional Identity from the multiple ways in which individuals construct meaning from interactions with their environments. Conclusions Our study provides a window on the dynamic, discursive and constructed nature of professional Identity Formation. The five key themes associated with professional Identity Formation provide strategic opportunities to enable positive development. This study also illustrates the power of reflective writing for students and tutors in the professional Identity Formation Process.

  • networked experiments and modeling for producing collective Identity in a group of human subjects using an iterative abduction framework
    Social Network Analysis and Mining, 2020
    Co-Authors: Vanessa Cedenomieles, Yihui Ren, Xinwei Deng, Abhijin Adiga, Christopher L Barrett, Noshir Contractor, Saliya Ekanayake, Joshua M Epstein, Brian J Goode
    Abstract:

    Group or collective Identity is an individual’s cognitive, moral, and emotional connection with a broader community, category, practice, or institution. There are many different contexts in which collective Identity operates, and a host of application domains where collective Identity is important. Collective Identity is studied across myriad academic disciplines. Consequently, there is interest in understanding the collective Identity Formation Process. In laboratory and other settings, collective Identity is fostered through priming a group of human subjects. However, there have been no works in developing agent-based models for simulating collective Identity Formation Processes. Our focus is understanding a game that is designed to produce collective Identity within a group. To study this Process, we build an online game platform; perform and analyze controlled laboratory experiments involving teams; build, exercise, and evaluate network-based agent-based models; and form and evaluate hypotheses about collective Identity. We conduct these steps in multiple abductive iterations of experiments and modeling to improve our understanding of collective Identity as this looping Process unfolds. Our work serves as an exemplar of using abductive looping in the social sciences. Findings on collective Identity include the observation that increased team performance in the game, resulting in increased monetary earnings for all players, did not produce a measured increase in collective Identity among them.
