is the term for the process by which individuals begin to form a sense of self-identity?

  1. Mirroring

  2. Self-efficacy

  3. Self-actualization

  4. Identity formation

The correct answer is: Identity formation

Identity formation is the process by which individuals begin to form a sense of self-identity. This involves developing a sense of self and understanding one's own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Mirroring may play a role in identity formation, but it is not the specific term used to describe the process itself. Self-efficacy refers to the belief in one's ability to achieve certain goals, and self-actualization is the realization of one's full potential. While these may contribute to a person's sense of identity, they do not encompass the entire process of identity formation. Therefore, D is the best option.
