Description

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.
