Zusammenfassung

In diesem Kapitel wird zunächst auf das Selbstkonzept, das aus multiplen Selbstaspekten besteht, und die Wege der Aktivierung von Teilen des Selbstkonzepts eingegangen. Anschließend werden die Funktionen des Selbst, hier vor allem die strukturierende, die motivational-emotionale und die handlungsregulierende Funktion, beschrieben. Des Weiteren werden Wege der Selbsterkenntnis (Introspektion, Selbstbeobachtung und Vergleich mit anderen Personen) erklärt. Das Kapitel endet mit einer Darlegung von Strategien, die vor allem bei der Bedrohung des Selbst eingesetzt werden, um ein positives Selbstbild aufrechtzuerhalten (Selbstwertbestätigung, selbstwertdienliche soziale Vergleiche und selbstwertdienliche Attributionen).
