内容简介

This volume reveals how social-cognitive structures and processes serve as a basis of personality coherence -- the unique patterns of experience and action that make each of us who we are. Chapters show how personality coherence arises from the ways people assign meaning to social information, gain causal agency over their lives through self-knowledge and self-reflective processes, and organize multiple life events within a framework of goals and life tasks. With leading contributors including Mark Baldwin, Albert Bandura, Nancy Cantor, Kenneth Dodge, Carol Dweck, Tory Higgins, Shinobu Kitayama, Hazel Markus, and Walter Mischel, this volume stands as the most definitive presentation to date of the social-cognitive theories of personality.
