ISBN: 9780873328821 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume trace an intellectual odyssey, a search for a genuinely critical theory.

Social Comparison Theories
ISBN: 9781841690902 / Angielski / Twarda / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In effect, social comparison is a fundamental process of self-conception through the perception of others-self, as it is identified with others. Social Comparison Theories: Key Readings offers a core and...
