"The chapters in this volume, written by leading researchers in the field, identify and elucidate four critical themes involved in the self in social judgment: the self as a referential source or basis for evaluating others, often referred to as 'social projection;' the assumed superiority of the self, or self-bias, as reflected in the pervasive tendency to view personal characteristics more favorably than those found in others; the self as a comparison standard against which the behaviors and attributes of others are assimilated or contrasted; and finally, the relative weight placed on the individual and collective selves in defining one's own attributes, when comparing them to those of others."--BOOK JACKET
