Self-awareness - the ability to recognize one's existence - is one
of the most important variables in psychology. Without
self-awareness, people would be unable to self-reflect, recognize
differences between the self and others, or compare themselves with
internalized standards. Social, clinical, and personality
psychologists have recognized the significance of self-awareness in
human functioning, and have conducted much research on how it
participates in everyday life and in psychological dysfunctions.
Self-Awareness & Causal Attribution: A Dual-Systems Theory
presents a new theory of how self-awareness affects thought,
feeling, and action. Based on experimental social-psychological
research, the authors describe how several interacting cognitive
systems determine the links between self-awareness and organized
activity. This theory addresses when people become self-focused,
how people internalize and change personal standards, when people
approach or avoid troubling situations, and the nature of
self-evaluation. Special emphasis is given to causal attribution,
the process of perceiving causality. Self-Awareness & Causal
Attribution will be useful to social, clinical, and personality
psychologists, as well as to anyone interested in how the self
relates to motivation and emotion.
