Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, Vol. 21: Social Psychological Studies of the Self - Perspectives and Programs

by Leonard Berkowitz (Editor)

Truly adequate analyses of human behavior obviously must refer to the nature, acquisition, and operation of these self-conceptions. This series, seeking to reflect the most important theoretical developments in social psychology, would therefore fall short in its aspirations if it did not give sufficient space to recent research and thinking on the self. However, the present volume is only a beginning in such an endeavor. Being necessarily limited in what it can cover, the book presents only a sampling of the leading studies and theories in this area.
