“…Thus, metaperspectives are one of the outcomes of the process of self-other differentiation that mirrors the construction of personal identity. Mascolo and Mancuso (1992) also regarded the formation of metaperspectives as a level of their model of "constructive processes in self-evaluative emotional development" (p. 44) and located it in preadolescence. Metaperspectives correspond to what Rodriguez-Tom6 (1972) called "social images" of self.…”

“…Some years later, starting with a study by G. J. Neimeyer and R. A. Neimeyer (1985), which claimed that the self can be understood only in relation to the social context in which it is embedded, some post-Kelly studies have further emphasized the role that social interaction plays in the construction of self and personal identity (see, e g , Applegate, 1990;Mascolo, 1992;Mascolo & Mancuso, 1992;Viney, 1992).…”

The study analyzes relationships between socialization practices and identity. A special form of role construct repertory grid was applied to 2 groups of preadolescents who had experienced opposed socialization practices. Group I was raised within a "polyadic model," with several caregivers and multiple attachments, and Group 2 was raised within a "dyadic model," with a single caregiver who had privileged relationship with the child. Those in Group 1 were found to be more multidimensional and more inclined than those in Group 2 to construe themselves and others ambivalently. They also tended to identify with more people than those in Group 2, who identified with 1 or at most 2 people. Those in Group 1 tended fo distinguish more clearly between "me as I amU and "me as others see me." These results are discussed and interpreted as adaptation strategies for different social contexts.

“…Structures of action and meaning evolve dynamically through coactions among multiple levels of the individual-environment system. In portraying development as a multi-leveled epigenetic process, one can explain how meanings are constructed in development without locating the source of development either within individuals or social relations (Mascolo, 1994;Mascolo 8c Dalto, 1995). Construction occurs within and between all levels of the person-environment system, from biology through cultural systems.…”

“…Theories and empirical studies of the social construction of emotions offer opportunities to explore culturally situated emotional responses. Their focus has often been on developmental processes, including how interactions between caregivers and an active infant/ child lead to the child internalizing cultural values, the meanings of important events and emotions, and norms about emotions and their associated (and appropriate) actions (Boiger & Mesquita, 2012;Mascolo, 1994). However, Boiger and Mesquita (2012) extend this to consider the interactional, moment-to-moment construction of emotional processes in adulthood (see also Mesquita et al, 2017).…”

The emotion of shame is typically conceptualized through a Western and universalist lens. In this article, we first critically examine competing definitions of shame rooted in the Western traditions and contrast them to conceptualizations of shame rooted in other cultural traditions (e.g., as exemplified by the work of Chinese and Taiwanese researchers). We then explore the critical role of both culture and chronic social threats, such as discrimination, in the social construction of shame. Although current research points to continuities and discontinuities in the experience of shame across contexts, Western definitions have restricted our capacity to understand conceptualizations and regulation strategies from diverse cultural traditions, shame’s role in self-improvement, and the propensity of shame to act as a signal in reaction to social stigma. Our aim is to highlight the existing evidence for the social construction of shame, to encourage research on shame no longer centring Western frameworks, and to identify additional research avenues for the study of contextualized, ecologically meaningful conceptualizations of shame.
