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.
