ABSTRACT
S ocial and personality psychology has always been concerned with the question of how people come to understand themselves and their social world. Although research on self-perception and social perception has been at the core of the research enterprise, researchers have rarely taken a direct look at the intersection of the two. Classic and modern work has certainly uncovered many interrelations between self and social perception, but this work has, to a considerable extent, remained fragmentary. In the archives of social and personality psychology, one could find work on self and social judgment, but one would have to search through far-flung, uncatalogued, remotely connected sources.
