Self Continuity

Topics include environmental and cultural influences on self-continuity; the interplay of autobiographical memory and personal self-continuity; the psychological function of self-continuity; personal and collective self-continuity; and resistance to change. The volume is rounded off with commentaries on the central issues and themes that have been discussed.</p><p>The book provides a unique sourcebook for this important topic and will appeal not only to upper-level students and researchers in social psychology but in view of the multiple perspectives represented in the volume it will also appeal to cognitive developmental and personality psychologists.</p>
