Description
The study of the self--and the processes associated with the self--are at the cutting edge of research on social and personality development. This volume brings together researchers from diverse theoretical perspectives to address a wide variety of issues associated with self processes including competence, autonomy, relatedness, and attachment. As such, the book provides a unique perspective on the role of self processes in child development and the importance of emotion as an organizing aspect of the self.
Reviews / Votes
"The current volume maintains the high quality that developmentalists have come to expect from this series. The scope of this symposium on the self is wide-ranging in both theory and content."-Contemporary Psychology
