Abstract
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the multiple sources and responses to identity nonverification. The sources include reflected appraisals (how individuals think others see them), actual appraisals (how others actually see individuals), and self-appraisals (individuals own views as to how they see themselves). The outcomes of identity nonverification include cognitive, behavioral, and emotional responses. The goal is to realign perceptions of the meaning of the self in the situation with the meanings held in the identity standard. These are not alternative responses, but all occur simultaneously. Some of these are deliberate and some are more automatic, occurring without much thought. The responses act in concert to restore a verifying state for individuals.
