Although the two major research areas of the "Self" and "Social
Relationships" have flourished, they have done so largely
independently of each other. More and more research, however, has
indicated that relationships shape the nature of the self and
identity, and that self-views influence interpersonal processes and
the manner in which people navigate their close relationships. The
integration of research on self and social relationships has proved
a particularly rich one, generating some of the most creative and
insightful theories in psychology. The Self and Social
Relationships is the first volume that marks, expedites, and
defines this exciting new research synthesis. It serves both as a
platform for authors to present their latest ideas on the topic and
to encourage continued integration in this emerging field. The
contributions represent a diverse set of perspectives from
social/personality and clinical psychology. Each chapter covers a
topic that is central to the study of self and relationships, and
presents some of the most exciting research programs in the field.
This volume is essential reading for researchers and students in
the areas of both self and relationships.
This volume is about understanding the 'self' from a scientific
perspective. The self is a well-established research area in a
variety of disciplines including clinical psychology,
communication, developmental psychology, social psychology and
sociology. This book pulls together, in one place, comprehensive
and interesting descriptions of some of the most stimulating, newly
emerging research programs on the self. Each chapter, by a leading
authority in the field, describes a unique research program, based
on solid empirical research. Contributing authors include a mix
between established names and emerging researchers whose mark on
the field will grow in years to come.
Recently, research on the ways in which goals, affect, and
self-regulation influence one another has enjoyed an upsurge. New
findings are being published and new theories are being developed
to integrate these findings. This volume reports on the latest of
this work, including a substantial amount of data and theory that
has not yet been published. Emanating from a conference exploring
affect as both a cause and effect in various social contexts, this
book examines some of the complex and reciprocal relationships
among goals, self structures, feelings, thoughts, and behavior. The
chapters address:
*the effects of intrinsic versus extrinsic goals;
*the different effects of approach versus avoidance goals;
*the role of awareness in goal pursuit and affective states;
*the meaning of affective states in relation to goal
attainment;
*the impact of hedonistic concerns as motivational factors;
*how people regulate their moods; and
*the role of the self in affective experiences.
Researchers have been addressing social judgment from a cognitive
perspective for more than 15 years. Within recent years, however,
it has become increasingly clear that many of the models and
assumptions initially adopted are in need of revision. The chapters
in this volume point out where the original models and assumptions
have fallen short, and suggest directions for future research and
theorizing. The contributors address issues related to judgment,
memory, affect, attitudes, and self-perception. In addition, many
present theoretical frameworks within which these different issues
can be integrated. As such, this volume represents the transition
from one era of social cognition research to the next.
