David Bovill on 25 Feb 14"Goffman, quoting Park (1950, 250), provides adescription not of the true self, but of the truer self, stating: 'In a sense,and in so far as this mask represents the conception we have formed of ourselves-the role we are striving to live up to-this mask is our truer self, the self we would like to be' (Goffman 1959, 19). This conception of the truer self parallels the construct of the ideal self in Higgins's self-discrepancytheory and, by extension, implies that the true self is the actual self."
