Developing Selves Are Meaning-Making Selves: Recouping the Social in Self-Development
Miller, Peggy J.; Mangelsdorf, Sarah C.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n109 p51-59 Fall 2005
In this chapter, we argue that deeper insight into the social nature of self-development can be gained by adopting a dual focus on social relationships and meaning making. A key challenge for future scholarship will be to investigate the role of semiotic mediation in self-construction during the early years of life.
