Identity Theory
Burke, Peter J. (Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Social Psychology Research Laboratory, Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Social Psychology Research Laboratory, University of California, Irvine)
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 rangeof this powerful new theory accessible to students and scholars at all levels
