The Self: Measurement Requirements from an Interactionist Perspective

Burke, Peter J.·1980·Social Psychology Quarterly

Abstract

Techniques for measuring an individual's self-concept must have two characteristics: they must be theoretically grounded and they must be quantitative. With respect to the first of these characteristics, six theoretical properties of the self as seen from an interactionist perspective are discussed in terms of their measurement implications. These properties are: (1) that the self is composed of an organized set of identities, (2) that identities are self-in-role meanings, (3) that identities are defined relationally in terms of counter-identities, (4) that identities are reflexive, (5) that identities operate indirectly, and (6) that identities motivate social behavior. Measures that fail to take account of these properties suffer for this failing. Suggestions are made about how such properties might be taken into account in deriving quantitative measures of certain characteristics of rolelidentities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
