Self and Identity

期刊简介：Self and Identity is devoted to the study of social and psychological processes of the self, including both its agentic aspects, as well as the perceived and construed aspects as reflected in its mental representations. Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals’ striving for well-being and for making sense of one’s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one’s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one’s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one’s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the "self" as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture. The Journal aims to bring together empirical work on self and identity undertaken by researchers across different subdisciplines within psychology (e.g., social, personality, clinical, development, cognitive), as well as across other social and behavioral disciplines (e.g., sociology, family studies, anthropology, neuroscience). Special emphasis is placed on new empirical research that is relevant for extant theoretical models and generative in opening new terrain for future investigation. A second continual motivating goal of the Journal is empirical research that offers integration at the level of basic processes. The Journal provides scientists, practitioners, and students in psychology, sociology, consumer behavior, behavioral medicine, and psychiatry around the world with access to cutting edge empirical research and occasional theoretical pieces. Readership: Practitioners and scholars of social, personality, developmental, and clinical psychology, as well as professionals in sociology, psychiatry, anthropology, social work and other disciplines with an interest in the study of self and identity. Peer Review Integrity: All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial Editor screening and refereeing by at least two independent, expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submissions may be made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts . Disclaimer

【译文】自我和身份致力于研究自我的社会和心理过程，包括其代理方面，以及其心理表征所反映的感知和解释方面。关于自我和身份的研究在人性研究中占有特殊的地位，因为自我关注可以说是个人追求幸福和理解生活的核心。人生目标的制定和影响取决于一个人对自己的看法、一个人理想中想要成为的样子（或想要避免成为的样子）以及一个人对可行的看法。此外，自我和世界的概念会影响一个人实现这些目标的进展如何被监控、评估、重新调整、重新评估和再次追求。因此，“自我”作为一种建构，对行为、自尊、动机、情感体验和更广泛的世界有着深远的影响，从而对人际关系、社会和文化产生深远的影响。该杂志旨在汇集心理学不同分支学科（例如社会、人格、临床、发展、认知）以及其他社会和行为学科（例如社会学、家庭研究、人类学、神经科学）的研究人员关于自我和身份的实证研究。特别强调与现有理论模型相关的新实证研究，并为未来研究开辟新领域。该杂志的第二个持续激励目标是在基本流程层面提供整合的实证研究。该杂志为世界各地心理学、社会学、消费者行为、行为医学和精神病学领域的科学家、从业者和学生提供前沿的实证研究和偶尔的理论文章。读者群：社会、人格、发展和临床心理学的从业者和学者，以及社会学、精神病学、人类学、社会工作和其他学科对自我和身份研究感兴趣的专业人士。同行评审的完整性：本期刊中的所有研究文章，包括特刊、专题或增刊中的文章，都经过严格的同行评审，基于初步的编辑筛选和至少两名独立的专家审稿人的评审。所有同行评审都是单一匿名的，并且可以通过 ScholarOne Manuscripts 在线提交。免责声明
