This volume provides a cutting-edge exposition to research on the
self. Sixteen authoritative overviews highlight the role of the
self around four themes. The first theme is Brain and Cognition,
which includes a social neuroscience perspective on the self,
implicit self-cognition, the structure of the self and
autobiographical memory. The next theme is Motivation, in which
chapters include social comparison, self-regulation, narcissism,
and modesty. The third theme is Self-esteem and Emotions, covered
by chapters on the measurement of self-esteem, terror management
theory, sociometer theory, and self-conscious emotions. The final
theme concerns the Interpersonal, Intergroup and Cultural Context,
containing chapters on intimate relationships, social exclusion,
the collective self, and culture. Throughout the volume, the
exposition is both scholarly and accessible. It also offers
critical assessments along with thoughtful discussions of
challenges and problems ahead, as well as the generation of novel
hypotheses. As such, the book aspires to influence the research
agenda for several years to come. The Self will serve as an
essential reference volume for active researchers in the field,
while also being appropriate for use as a textbook in advanced
courses on the self.
