Individuals often maintain different categories by familial, romantic, and professional relationships. Within each category, the way an individual acts can change because of the varied nature of each of these relationships. Many describe these different behaviors as "fake selves" used to maintain certain impressions. The term Crystallized Self states that if there are no fake or real selves, then the self must be crystallized and doesn't change based on who the individual is interacting with. This concept is the preface to the idea of crystalized behavior. The nature of this type of behavior is fluid, multidimensional, and complex. Described experientially, it is when an individual alters their behavior, language, and identity depending on the context they are interacting in. The Crystallized Self includes the ideas of disciplining; multiple facets of identity; the gendered work involved in boundary-spanning; critical intersectionality; and qualitative research. These bring into question of how "fluid" our selves can possibly be. Understanding the different dimensions of identity and self has been a continuously researched topic. Dr. Peter Burke, a professor in Cambridge University, stated, "Identities tell us who we are and they announce to others who we are... Identities subsequently guide behavior, leading "fathers" to behave like "fathers" and "nurses" to act like "nurses.""
