Synopsis: Maximising self-concept is recognised as a critical goal in itself and a means to facilitate other desirable outcomes in a diversity of settings. The desire to feel positively about oneself and the benefits of this feeling for choice, planning, persistence, and subsequent accomplishments, transcend traditional disciplinary barriers and are central to goals in many social policy areas. International Advances in Self Research publishes scholarly works mat primarily focus on self-concept research and that pertain to a broad array of self-related constructs and processes including self-esteem, self-efficacy, identity, motivation, anxiety, self-attributions, self-regulated learning, learning facilitation, and meta-cognition. The research focus of the monograph series includes theory underlying these constructs, their measurement, their relation to each other and to other constructs, their enhancement and their application in research and practice. Chapters address a wide cross-section of settings, participants, and research areas. This series has a special interest in self theory and research in settings characterised by diversity, such as special education, linguistic diversity, socioeconomic, and cultural diversity.
