Handbook of Self-Enhancement and Self-Protection (Hardcover)

This is the first major volume dedicated to the processes by which people exaggerate their virtues, deemphasize their shortcomings, or protect themselves against threatening feedback. Leading investigators present cutting-edge work on the key role of self-enhancing and self-protective motives in social perception, cognition, judgment, and behavior. Compelling topics include the psychological benefits and risks of self-enhancement and self-protection; personality traits and contextual factors that make certain individuals more likely to hold distorted views of the self; innovative approaches to assessment and measurement; and implications for relationships, achievement, and mental health. The book will be important reading for social and personality psychologists and graduate students; also of interest to developmental and clinical psychologists. It may also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses.
