Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This volume brings together leading scholars to revisit and extend the theory of self-esteem, examining how self-evaluations arise from social structure, identity, and life-course contexts. Through conceptual, methodological, and empirical analyses, the book explores self-esteem’s measurement, its variations across race, gender, and societal inequality, and its links to social problems, work, identity, and psychological well-being — providing a state-of-the-art synthesis for social scientists studying self and identity
