Lieberman & Naomi I. Eisenberger -- Defending the self -- Ideal agency : the perception of self as an origin of action / Jesse Preston & Daniel M. Wegner -- Reflections in troubled waters : Narcissism and the vicissitudes of an interpersonally contextualized self / Frederick Rhodewalt & Carolyn C. Morf -- Nagging doubts and a glimmer of hope : the role of implicit self-esteem in self-image maintenance / Steven J. Spencer, Christian H. Jordan, Christine E.R. Logel & Mark P. Zanna -- Regulating the self -- Approach avoidance motivation and self-concept evaluation / Andrew J. Elliot & Rachel R. Mapes -- Self conscious emotion and self-regulation / Dacher Keltner & Jennifer S.

Vohs -- The roles of the self in priming-to-behavior effects / S. Christian Wheeler, Kenneth G. DeMarree & Richard E. Petty.
Summary: This volume pulls together research on several aspects of the self. One set of chapters deals with the importance of building a self based on authenticity and ""Who I really am.""; a second group deals with the ways in which we defend views of the self as positive and powerful; a third group is concerned with multiple aspects of self regulation. Each of the chapters is a well-written, non-technical description of an important, currently active research program.
