Abstract

Adolescence is considered a crucial phase in human development, continually marked by significant physical, emotional and social changes. A period of discovery and transformation, young people face the complex challenge of building their identity, exploring their sexuality and dealing with the personal conflicts that arise throughout this process. This is a qualitative study, using an integrative review, which aims to analyze adolescence and gender identity in more depth, examining the implications of this intersection for the individual and society as a whole. Searches were conducted in several scientific databases: PubMed (9), Scopus (5), Web of Science (12), PsycINFO (14) and Periódicos Ufam (02) using the descriptors ADOLESCENCE AND GENDER IDENTITY AND PERSONAL CONFLICT. A total of 78 studies were found, and after applying the exclusion criteria, 42 articles were found. Through the synthesis of current studies and theories, the aim was to shed light on crucial issues, such as the impact of personal conflict on the formation of identity, social influences on the construction of gender identity, and the possibilities of intervention and support for people at this stage of their lives. The conclusion is that new research and new perspectives are needed regarding this extremely important topic, so that increasingly comprehensive public policies for monitoring adolescence and all the factors involved can be consolidated.
