identification
(noun)
A feeling of support, sympathy, understanding, or belonging towards somebody or something.
Examples of identification in the following topics:
-
Party Identification
- Party identification refers to the political party with which an individual identifies.
- Party identification is typically determined by the political party that an individual most commonly supports, by voting or other means. shows the shift of party identification between the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections.
- Childhood Influence is one of main driving factors behind formation of party identification.
- One method of measuring party identification uses the Likert Scale.
- The Likert Scale is a 7 point scale to measure party identification:

Party Identification
- Party identification is typically determined by the political party that an individual most commonly supports.
- Party identification refers to the political party with which an individual identifies.
- Other researchers consider party identification to be more flexible and more of a conscious choice.
- Party identification can increase or even shift by motivating events or conditions in the country.
- Party Identification is characterized in three ways.
-
Specific Identification Method
- Specific identification is a method of finding out ending inventory cost that requires a detailed physical count.
- The specific identification costing method attaches cost to an identifiable unit of inventory.
- Specific identification is a method of finding out ending inventory cost.
- Under the specific identification method, the firm must identify each unit in inventory, unless it is unique, with a serial number or identification tag.
- Describe how a company would use the specific identification method to value inventory
-
Party Identification
- A person's partisan identification is defined as a long-term attachment to a particular party.
- Childhood influence is one of main driving factors behind formation of party identification.
- Other researchers consider party identification to be more flexible and more of a conscious choice.
- As voter identification with political parties has declined, so has dedication to the two-party system.
- Differentiate between two ways of understanding the stability of party identification
-
Diagnosing Microbial Diseases
- The process of identifying infectious diseases is complex and requires identification of the agent through direct or indirect means.
- The use of microbial cultures is common to help in the clinical identification of pathogenic microbes.
- To ensure proper identification of a pathogen, microscopy, in combination with biochemical staining techniques, is often used to ensure definitive identification.
- The identification of infectious agents is now often done by using molecular based techniques such as polymerase chase reactions (PCR).
- PCR allows for the identification and testing for nucleic acids which are specific to the infectious agent.
-
Technology and New Infectious Agents
- Technology aids in the identification of new infectious agents, but it also contributes to the emergence of new diseases.
- The use of advanced technology and molecular methods for detection, identification, and characterization of infectious agents is gaining importance in clinical microbiology laboratories.
- Identification of an emerging pathogen by conventional methods is difficult and time-consuming due to the 'novel' nature of the agent.
- Identification requires a large array of techniques including cell cultures, inoculation of animals, cultivation using artificial media, histopathological evaluation of tissues (if available), and serological techniques using surrogate antigens.
- Looking back at past epidemics or outbreaks caused by previously unknown infectious agents, we realize that identification and characterization of a new infectious agent can take years, decades, or even centuries.
-
Chemical Assays, Radioisotopic Methods, and Microelectrodes
- There are numerous tests and assays available that are utilized to aid in bacterial identification in a variety of settings.
- These assays are often utilized to aid in bacterial identification.
- There are numerous tests utilized in bacterial identification which involve testing for hydrolysis of specific substances.
- In regards to microbiology and bacterial identification, micro-electrodes are commonly being utilized to identify pathogenic bacteria in numerous settings.
-
A Leader's Influence
- In 1958, Harvard psychologist Herbert Kelman identified three broad varieties of social influence: compliance, identification, and internalization.
- Identification is when people behave according to what they think is valued by those who are well-liked and respected, such as a celebrity.
- Status is a key aspect of identification: when people purchase something highly coveted by many others, such as the latest smartphone, they are under the influence of identification.
- Similarly, identification happens when people seek to imitate and follow the actions of people they look up to and respect, for example a more experienced co-worker or trusted supervisor.
- Leaders, such as politicians, often use identification to gain support for their beliefs on certain issues.
-
The Candidates
- Due to a decrease in party identification, the personal traits of candidates have become an influential factor in voters' decisions.
- This increasing lack of party identification combined with the difficulties that arise with issue voting has resulted in voting decisions based on the personality and demographic traits of candidates.
- However, when the aforementioned problems with party identification and issue voting arise, the personal characteristics of candidates may enter into campaign strategies and voting decisions.
-
Iconography
- Iconography is the scholarly study of the content of images, including identification, description, and interpretation.
- Iconography is the branch of art history which studies the identification, description, and interpretation of the content of images such as the subjects that are depicted, particulars of composition, and other elements that are distinct from artistic style.
- In early twentieth-century Germany, Aby Warburg (1866–1929) and his followers Fritz Saxl (1890–1948) and Erwin Panofsky (1892–1968) elaborated the practice of identification and classification of motifs in images to using iconography as a means of understanding meaning.
- The distinction he and other scholars drew between particular definitions of "iconography" (put simply, the identification of visual content) and "iconology" (the analysis of the meaning of that content) has not been generally accepted, though it is still used by some writers.
