Charles Horton Cooley (August 17 1864 – May 8 1929) was an American sociologist and the son of Thomas M. Cooley. He studied and went on to teach economics and sociology at the University of Michigan and he was a founding member and the eighth president of the American Sociological Association. He is perhaps best known for his concept of the looking glass self which is the concept that a person’s self grows out of society’s interpersonal interactions and the perceptions of others.
