A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Terrific. A handbook should provide a comprehensive and current review of the field it covers, and the Handbook of Self and Identity delivers in each respect. This handbook would make a fine introduction in an advanced undergraduate course (assuming knowledgeable and engaged students), and an even better review of the field for graduate students (I am presently using it for this purpose). The book is also valuable to professionals working in the areas of self and identity." - APA PsycCRITIQUES

"The editors have brought together many of the finest scholars in the field to write on critical issues in the psychology of the self: issues related to what the self is, where it comes from, and how it affects people's lives. The Handbook does much in the way of defining the state of the science and setting the agenda for future generations of inquiry into the nature of personality." - Mark Snyder, PhD, University of Minnesota

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The self has emerged as a central construct in many domains of behavioral and social science. This state-of-the-science volume brings together an array of leading authorities to comprehensively review theory and research in this burgeoning area. Coverage includes the content, structure, and organization of the self; processes related to agency, regulation, and self-control; self-evaluation and self-related motivation and emotion; interpersonal and cultural issues; and self-development across evolutionary time and the lifespan. Also examined are ways that the development of the self can go awry, resulting in emotional and behavioral problems.
