Description

Self-perception and behavior do not occur in a social vacuum. Who we are and what we do is often a function of what other people are and do. This collection explores how others inform us of our identity, such as knowing if we are the only sane person in a room, or how they help us determine where we stand in terms of intelligence or ability. Social Comparison Theories: Key Readings examines the fundamental process of self-conception through the perception of others. It looks at how people can inspire us to reach new goals or discourage us by setting standards we feel we cannot meet. By studying how the self is identified with others, this book provides a core and comprehensive look at social psychology through essential readings. This volume is an important resource for students and professionals studying how social environments shape individual identity and behavior. It provides the necessary foundation to understand the mechanics of how we view ourselves in relation to the people around us.
