SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"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
