: I think the DBP translation fails to indicate that it is more of self-awareness of / being true to one's identity rather than just identity.

SELF-ESTEEM; SELF-IDENTITY
While the translation given for this term by pprm-DBP is identity, in this context it actually has a passive connotation. It refers to the sense of self and is thus talking about self-esteem.
Hence, I think it is more accurate to translate it as self-esteem or alternatively to add the prefix self- to identity.
