"Social Encounters" is an approach to social psychology that is not what one might expect to find in textbooks on this subject. As a companion to "Social Interaction" advocated by Michael Argyle and his associates, it has been used by a rapidly growing number of researchers in social psychology, and related aspects of ethology, anthropology, and linguistics.

The readings have been selected to provide a representative sampling of exciting research and theory on self and identity that is
