    So where does the I come from? How does the person begin to create and manage (consciously or otherwise) her/his sense of self?

This process of internalization r...

    Returning to the interplay between the I and the me, self-verification can be viewed as a kind of self-authorship where the product (in this case the me) is marketed primarily to audiences who will provide reviews (interpersonal and relational feedback) that are consistent with how the product was previously evaluated.
