Summary/Abstract: Family and identity are notions which often appear together. Talking about identity, we underline the role of previous socialisation in the family for the sake of constructing the picture of oneself. In turn, talking about family, we do not forget the roles which are bases to autodescriptions. The presented text relates to the understanding of identity by secondary school youth and is based on the results of TST and the association test (of the notion identity). Two models of defining oneself have been distinguished. The former is related to family bonds, whereas the latter – with personality traits. Women defined themselves in the context of family bonds and roles more often than men.
