Self and identity have been important yet volatile notions in psychology since its formative years as a scientific discipline. Recently, psychologists and other social scientists have begun to develop and refine the conceptual and empirical tools for studying the complex nature of self. This volume presents a critical analysis of fundamental issues in the scientific study of self and identity. These chapters go much farther than merely taking stock of recent scientific progress.

This volume makes a case for the pivotal role of social psychology as the core discipline for studying morality. The book is divided into four parts....

Social scientists have long known that political beliefs bias the way they think about, understand, and interpret the world around them. This volume explores the complex and often contentious political influences within the field of social psychology. While most scientists aspire to be dispassionate observers, this volume reveals how political biases may affect theory development, the selection of hypothesis-testing and other methodologies, data analysis, and the interpretation of findings. The contributors, scholars from social psychology and related fields, use many of the major...
