Identities in Everyday Life

Autor Jan E. Stets, Richard T. Serpe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iun 2019
Identities in Everyday Life explores how identity theory in social psychology can help us understand a wide array of issues across six areas of life including psychological well-being; authenticity; morality; gender, race, and sexuality; group membership; and early-to-later adult identities. Bringing together over 45 scholars presenting original theoretical or empirical work, the chapters build upon prior work to understand the source, development, and dynamics of individuals' identities as they unfold within and across situations. These studies not only advance scholarly research on identities, but they also provide an understanding of the relevance of identities for people's everyday lives. The findings are relevant to a broad-based set of researchers in the academy across disciplines in the social sciences, education, and health, to students at both the graduate and undergraduate level who are interested in identities at both a personal and professional level, to mental health professionals, and to the average person in society.

Recenzii

"The volume is based on scholarship presented at the second biannual conference on identity theory and research...The majority of chapters discuss specific studies, adopting the standard academic research article format. Despite the format, the language employed seems geared more toward general readers than academics. Recommended."
This volume is an important collection of research and theory by some of the most influential scholars currently working on the question of identity. In breaking so much fertile ground, this finely edited compendium promises to extend identity theory and invite many new and innovative avenues of research.
As today's climate of identity driven politics and social divisions has highlighted for us, identity processes are central to the link between a society's social structure and the behaviors and motives of the individuals within it. Stets and Serpe's edited volume offers us a valuable new look at how these linkages work out in everyday contemporary life.
