Drawing upon the perspective of social identity theory,
The Development of the Social Self
is concerned with the acquisition and development of children's social identities. In contrast to previous work on self-development, which has focused primarily on the development of the personal self, this volume makes a case for the importance of the study of the social self - that is, the self as defined through group memberships, such as gender, ethnicity, and nationality.
A broad range of identity-related issues are addressed, such as ingroup identification, conceptions of social identities, prejudice, and the central role of social context. Based on contributions from leading researchers in Europe, Australia and the US, the book summarises the major research programmes conducted to date. Furthermore, the closing chapters provide commentary on this research, as well as mapping out key directions for future research.
With a unique focus encompassing both social and developmental psychology,
will appeal to a broad spectrum of students and researchers in both disciplines, as well as those working in related areas such as sociology and child development.
