ISBN: 9780195388275 出版年：2012 页码：271 Burke, Peter J Stets, Jan E Oxford University Press

All individuals claim particular identities given their roles in society, groups they belong to, and characteristics that describe themselves. This book describes and illustrates identity theory, a social psychological theory that attempts to understand identities, their sources in interaction and society, their processes of operation, and their consequences for interaction and society from a sociological perspective. Identity Theory makes the full range of this powerful new theory accessible to students and scholars at all levels.
