Self and Social Identity

Beschreibung

The study of the interplay between the individual self and collective selves is an arena of rich theory and research in social psychology.
Self and Social Identity is a collection of readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology that examine how group memberships shape the content of the individual's self concept and how the sense of self is expanded as a consequence of identification with other individuals and the group as a whole.
Collects readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology and includes introductions by two world-renowned researchers.
Provides a sampling of exciting research and theory that is both comprehensive and current and cross-cuts the levels of analysis from intrapersonal to intergroup.
Organized around two broad themes, 'self and identity' and 'group identities' and designed for course use.
