Abstract

The study of self has been one of the most exciting and important areas of social psychology over the past several decades. This reader presents an elite collection of the most important and influential articles on the topic. The volume begins with an original introduction by the editor R. Baumeister that provides an overview of the study of the self. The readings themselves are then organized into ten thematic sections covering topics such as self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-regulation, self-presentation, and the self and culture. Each section has an introduction that describe relevant work, in order to place the selection in its full intellectual context. Sections also include discussion questions and annotated suggestions for further reading to guide additional study. This book provides a thorough introduction to theory and research on the self in social psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
