Draws on the social-cognitive theory, which explains personality functioning by referring to basic cognitive and affective processes, to investigate how people manage to maintain a coherent sense of themselves as they play out the wide variety of roles, cross contexts, and meet the demands of modern society. The 11 studies explore knowledge structures and encoding processes, self processes and personal agency, and goals and life tasks. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
