Drawing upon the perspective of social identity theory, "The
Development of the Social Self "is concerned with the acquisition
and development of children's social identities. In contrast to
previous work on self-development, which has focused primarily on
the development of the personal self, this volume makes a case for
the importance of the study of the social self - that is, the self
as defined through group memberships, such as gender, ethnicity,
and nationality.
A broad range of identity-related issues are addressed, such as
ingroup identification, conceptions of social identities,
prejudice, and the central role of social context. Based on
contributions from leading researchers in Europe, Australia and the
US, the book summarises the major research programmes conducted to
date. Furthermore, the closing chapters provide commentary on this
research, as well as mapping out key directions for future
research.
With a unique focus encompassing both social and developmental
psychology, "The Development of the Social Self "will appeal to a
broad spectrum of students and researchers in both disciplines, as
well as those working in related areas such as sociology and child
development.
