People actively shape social interactions by verifying their self-views, influencing identity negotiation. This research highlights how both perceivers and targets contribute to resolving social expectations and self-perceptions.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Social Cognition
  • Interpersonal Dynamics

Background:

  • Early research focused on perceivers' expectations influencing targets.
  • This overlooked the active role targets play in social interactions.
  • Self-perception and other-perception interplay is crucial in social dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the active role of targets in identity negotiation.
  • To explore how individuals verify their self-views during social interactions.
  • To understand the interplay between self-perception and other-perception.

Main Methods:

  • Review of a program of research on social interaction and thought.
  • Analysis of processes underlying self-view verification.

  • Examination of the relationship between self-concept change and self-enhancement.

    • Main Results:

    • Targets actively seek to verify their self-views, mirroring perceivers' expectancy validation.
    • Identity negotiation involves resolving independent and potentially conflicting agendas of perceivers and targets.
    • Self-view verification processes are linked to self-concept change and self-enhancement.

    Conclusions:

    • Social interactions are a dynamic negotiation of identities.
    • Both perceivers and targets actively contribute to shaping social reality.
    • Identity negotiation provides a framework for understanding self and other perception.
