This edited volume outlines the latest meta-theoretical and
theoretical contexts of self-research. "Self and Identity" examines
theoretical accounts of human experience within the contemporary
socio-cultural milieu and attempts to answer the question of what
it means to be human. It provides a clear structure within which to
conceptualize contemporary empirical research on self and identity
in terms of personal, social, and symbolic aspects. In so doing, it
identifies the symbolic aspect as an emerging area of contemporary
significance.
Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of scholars and
therapists, the book is organized into four parts. The editors
provide section introductions to demonstrate how each chapter
relates to the book's overall theme, as well as how the chapter
authors responded to the editors' charge to go beyond the social
cognitive theory of the self. Part I describes the current
meta-theoretical context of self-research, the editors'
interpretation of the social cognitive approach to the self, and an
emerging alternative theory, the Connectionist Approach. Part II
highlights personal perspectives on selfhood, Part III focuses on
social perspectives, and Part IV reviews symbolic processes. The
concluding chapter reviews the book's major themes with overlapping
themes and intellectual disputes.
The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in
social and personality psychology interested in self and identity
and self-research. It may also be used as a supplemental text in
advanced-level courses on self and identity.
