Because the self is constructed out of relationships with others and therefore involves the internalization of societal codes and conventions, it can be considered a miniature society within the individual. Just as the broader society guides the operations of its institutions, so the inner miniature society guides the behavior of the individual (Cashdan, 1988, p. 49).
