Unity and Modularity in the Mind and Self: Studies on the Relationships between Self-awareness, Personality, and Intellectual Development from Childhood to AdolescenceThis book explores the relationships between intellectual development, self and personality, and proposes a comprehensive theory which answers such fundamental questions as: how do humans become aware of themselves? How do people come to know and influence each other? These questions are answered on the basis of four empirical studies, highlighting the development of self-awareness in those aged from 10 to 20 years. |
