Maurice's boss and coworkers see him as a dependable and hard-working young adult. They think of him as dedicated and focused. On the weekends, Maurice likes to go to blackened screamo and crust punk concerts and gets boisterous when bands like Antisect or No Omega take the stage. How does William James's concept of the social self explain the differences we see in Maurice?
What will be an ideal response?
William James's conception of the social self is not considered to be a single unified entity. Different aspects of our selves are displayed when we interact with different people. When Maurice is at work interacting with his coworkers, he shows one part of himself, and when he is at heavy metal concerts, he shows another.
