The concept of the Self has a long history that dates back from the
ancient Greeks such as Aristotle to more contemporary thinkers such
as Wundt, James, Mead, Cooley, Freud, Rogers, and Erikson (Tesser
& Felson, 2000). Research on the Self relates to a range of
phenomena including self-esteem, self-concept, self-protection,
self-verification, self-awareness, identity, self-efficacy,
self-determination etc. that could be sharply different or very
similar. Despite this long tradition of thinkers and the numerous
studies conducted on the Self, this concept is still not very well
defined. More precisely, it is not a precise object of study, but
rather a collection of loosely related subtopics (Baumesiter,
1998). Also, in the philosophical literature, the legitimacy of the
concept of "self" has been brought into question. Some authors have
argued that the self is not a psychological entity per se, but
rather an illusion created by the complex interplay between
cognitive and neurological subsystems (Zahavi, 2005). Although no
definitive consensus has been reached regarding the Self, we
emphasis in this volume that the Self and its related phenomena
including self-concept, motivation, and identity are crucial for
understanding consciousness and therefore important to understand
human behavior. Self-Concept, Motivation and Identity: Underpinning
Success with Research and Practice provides thus a unique insight
into self-concept and its relationship to motivation and identity
from varied theoretical and empirical perspectives. This volume is
intended to develop both theoretical and methodological ideas and
to present empirical evidence demonstrating the importance of
theory and research to effective practice.
