Introducing Ipseology: A Fresh Look at Identity
Dr. Jason Jeffrey Jones is excited to announce his new book, Ipseology: A New Science of the Self. This innovative work invites readers to explore the intricate nature of identity through ipseology, a unique lens focused on how people express their self-identity as it evolves over time.
Exploring Self-Description
In Ipseology, Dr. Jones encourages readers to reflect on thought-provoking questions about personal identity. When limited to just a few sentences to describe themselves, what do people choose to emphasize or leave out? How have Americans' self-descriptions changed alongside societal transformations? Additionally, what surprising commonalities can be found across various cultures when it comes to expressing identity?
Decoding the Language of Identity
Dr. Jones shares diverse techniques for analyzing self-descriptions from millions of people worldwide. These findings open up new avenues for understanding personal identity and the words individuals use to convey it. To enhance your engagement, he has also developed web applications and datasets for those curious about this exploration.
Tools for Discovery
Dr. Jones has built a user-friendly website, designed for anyone wanting to investigate the language Americans use in self-descriptions. This platform, known as Jason Jeffrey Jones Identity Trends, unveils fascinating shifts over time. For example, the term vegan has gained prominence, while vegetarian has seen a downturn. Additionally, terms like conservative and liberal have become more common in self-descriptions, indicating broader societal shifts.
Gaining Global Insights
One of the noteworthy tools available is Human Identities across Nations of the Earth, Ngram Investigator (HINENI). It compiles language usage data from 32 countries, allowing users to compare the popularity of words, phrases, hashtags, and even emojis across borders. This fosters a richer understanding of how identities take shape around the globe. For instance, you can track trends like the use of the European Union flag emoji from 2012 to 2023.
