Book The Self and Social Relationships

Download or read book The Self and Social Relationships written by Joanne V. Wood and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the two major research areas of the "Self" and "Social Relationships" have flourished, they have done so largely independently of each other. More and more research, however, has indicated that relationships shape the nature of the self and identity, and that self-views influence interpersonal processes and the manner in which people navigate their close relationships. The integration of research on self and social relationships has proved a particularly rich one, generating some of the most creative and insightful theories in psychology. The Self and Social Relationships is the first volume that marks, expedites, and defines this exciting new research synthesis. It serves both as a platform for authors to present their latest ideas on the topic and to encourage continued integration in this emerging field. The contributions represent a diverse set of perspectives from social/personality and clinical psychology. Each chapter covers a topic that is central to the study of self and relationships, and presents some of the most exciting research programs in the field. This volume is essential reading for researchers and students in the areas of both self and relationships.

Book Social Psychology  Social Identity

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: The content of this paper discusses three separate, yet in my opinion, interlinked aspects of social development. We begin with the concept of social identity, the development of one’s identity almost from birth, through adolescence into adulthood. The identity as a result of our interactions with those around us creates our self-concept and ultimately our self-esteem. Our gender and gender role development adds to our concept of self and determines our concept of who we are in relation to others and the world. As we grow our interactions with those around us, commencing with the family unit gives credence to our understanding of our self-value. We learn about people’s perceptions of us through their dealings with us. As such, our self-esteem has the potential to promote or hinder healthy relationship development as we move through life from the core family relationships to our peer, significant other and spousal relationships. The success or failure of our relationships can be linked to our self-esteem. We learn about our self-perception, how others perceive us and what kind of responses we expect from those we come into contact with. Dealing with our self-esteem as we move through life, suggests that interactions are tainted or coloured by a positive or negative self-concept respectively. We will see that perception is a key determinant in the generation of frustration when dealing with those around us. These frustrations are just one component of factors that may lead to the expression of inappropriate levels of aggression. We discuss other causes of aggression and ultimately seek to outline techniques that can assist individuals to create a less aggressive or more appropriate form of anger display. As an educator, the focus of this paper has pertinence for the school environment but is not limited and moves beyond that into the world of work.

  • Release : 1992-07-01
  • ISBN : 9780791409886
  • Pages : 364 pages

Download or read book The Self written by Thomas M. Brinthaupt and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-07-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the characteristics and dimensions of the self? Is there a “best” way to measure the self? How does the researcher’s definition of the self affect the choice of research measure and methods? These are the questions addressed by this book. Unlike previous books on the self, this one provides a systematic analysis of the theoretical and methodological issues involved. It offers a description of several alternative methods for studying the self, and discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of these different approaches. Emphasized here are the phenomenological and experiential nature of the self, its multidimensionality and hierarchical structure, and the relationship between defining and measuring the self. Among the methodological issues addressed are the impact of significant others on the self, the factors that affect the process of reporting about the self, between-group comparison of self-structure, the structure of the self in relationship to others, and the effects of differing cultural contexts.

Book Blind and Deaf to Acceptance

Download or read book Blind and Deaf to Acceptance written by Anna Maud Luerssen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across two studies, we evaluated whether people with low self-esteem are less likely to capitalize on, or take full advantage of, their romantic partners' accepting behaviors. We conceptualized capitalization as the tendency to perceive acceptance when it occurs, and to experience positive changes in affect and relationship satisfaction when acceptance is perceived. We found that participants with low self-esteem under-perceived their partners' acceptance, both in daily life and in the laboratory. When these behaviors were noticed, participants with low self-esteem experienced smaller, and temporally shorter, boosts in positive affect and relationship satisfaction than participants with high self-esteem. Moreover, the degree to which participants noticed social acceptance in daily life predicted relationship closeness over time. These results generally supported our predictions, and suggest that targeting responses to social acceptance may be an important point of intervention for future studies evaluating ways to improve self-esteem.
