Oyserman, Elmore, and Smith's 2012 theories focus on the concept of possible selves and how they influence individuals' behavior and decision-making. They argue that individuals have multiple possible selves, or potential future identities, that they strive to achieve. These possible selves can be influenced by social and cultural factors, and individuals may prioritize certain possible selves over others based on their perceived importance and feasibility. The authors also discuss how individuals' beliefs about their possible selves can impact their motivation, goal-setting, and overall well-being.
