Purpose
There is fragmentation in the academic study of identity theory, and it is dislocated from personality theory. The paper aims to develop a model that resolves both of these issues using autonomous agency theory. It is shown that identities can be evaluated using mindset agency theory. Application is then made to a case study of Donald Trump’s US election campaign.
Design/methodology/approach
In the first of this three-part paper, the fragmented identity theory is examined ontologically to generate a coherent model of multiple identities.
Findings
A new coherent model of multiple identities is created.
Originality/value
There is not currently any that has created coherent theory of multiple identities.
