요약Although sociologists define "the self" as a social product, little research explores the link between our web of relationships and our sense of self. In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between identities and social networks in the context of chronic illness. Chronic illness can negatively influence people's social relationships and identities, particularly when symptoms are invisible. Yet, research seldom uses social psychological models of identities to understand these impacts of illness to the self. Furthermore, while relationships may be harmed by illness, they are also a primary coping mechanism and source of support. In this dissertation, I draw on identity theory, a core social psychological perspective used to examine the maintenance of the self through interaction, and focus on the case of migraine, a common chronic, yet misunderstood illness. I ask, what is the role of social connectedness in the process by which migraine impacts identities?To address this question, this dissertation draws on multiple sources of original data, including in-depth interviews and a survey of individuals with migraine. I supplement these data with participant observations of two migraine patient conferences. In my methods chapter I propose a model of identity networks, whereby an individual's identities are linked to one another through shared interaction partners. I use this approach in my first empirical chapter to examine how migraine affects the maintenance of identities and how this relationship is contingent on the type and characteristics of identities. I find that migraine not only disrupts identities but also leads to identity non verification. In my second empirical chapter, I explore how the invisible and contested nature of migraine amplifies the importance of empathetic and understanding social ties that provide unique types of social support. My third empirical chapter demonstrates how engaging with the migraine patient community shapes participants' social connections and identities through providing affirmation, cultural health capital, and a way to reframe their understanding of migraine. I conclude by discussing theoretical implications for identity theory, social networks and health, and the sociology of chronic illness, as well as clinical and programmatic implications.
