The Self In Social Psychology: Key Readings (Key Readings in Social Psychology) - Softcover

"This book provides a discerning and through introduction to theory and research on the self in social psychology. The editors have done a wonderful job distilling quite a bit of research into twenty-three touchstone articles that accurately portray the obsessions, insights, and debates among scholars in the field. As such, the volume will serve both students and researchers well as a sourcebook of guiding ideas and themes in the study of the self. David Dunning, Cornell University. ." "Having taught both undergraduate and graduate courses about the self, I have wrestled many times with choosing readings for my classes. By providing us with this collection of key articles about the self, Dr. Baumeister has performed a great service for those of us who teach about the self and, more importantly, for the students who take our courses. Mark Leary, Wake Forest University ."
