A MAP FOR EXPLORATIONS IN ROLECENTRISM,

Abstract

A theoretical framework for behavior identified as 'rolecentric' is presented within the general context of self-role interaction. Rolecentrism is defined as a concern with one's own role such that the role behavior of others is monitored, perceived and evaluated for its impact on one's self-prescribed role. The forces responsible for the formation, retention, and change in self-other expectations that in combination define the self-prescribed role, are discussed. (Author)
