Leading theoreticians and researchers present current thinking
about the role played by group memberships in people's sense of who
they are and what they are worth. The chapters build on the
assumption, developed out of social identity theory, that people
create a social self that both defines them and shapes their
attitudes and behaviors. The authors address new developments in
the theoretical frameworks through which we understand the social
self, recent research on the nature of the social self, and recent
findings about the influence of social context upon the development
and maintenance of the social self.
