This special issue collection of papers focus on the construct of Identity Integration and showcase new recent studies that apply this construct to the study of identity dynamics (i.e., compatibility vs. conflict) between different types of social identification (e.g. i.e., work, education, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, etc.) utilizing different methodologies. All in all this collection show that II framework is a useful and meaningful tool to understand the complexity of multiple identifications.
