Synopsis
This second volume in the revised and greatly expanded edition of Ruth C. Wylie's classic work presents thorough coverage of theory and research on topics involving self-concept variables. The concluding overview supports the author's 1974 argument, put forward in volume one, that the possible usefulness of self-referent constructs deserves further work in light of more sophisticated hypotheses and research methods.
