The Self: New Insights From Social, Neuroscience, Developmental, Educational, and Clinical Perspectives
This symposium highlights advances in the study of the self from diverse psychological perspectives. Talks address fundamental questions about the structure, function, consequences, and measurement of the self-concept and self-esteem, as they operate at different levels of processing (neural, implicit, explicit), across contexts (achievement, interpersonal) and development (childhood, adolescence, adulthood).
