Description
This work proposes an integrative theory for understanding the major theoretical ideas being addressed in self-literature. The review of the literature provided within this integrative framework should help students and instructors to understand the complexity of self as a construct, and to understand the ramifications of this multi-faceted entity called self. Understanding self is an important first step in helping students understand others, and how and why people interact the way they do in social situations.
