Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Derlega et al. setup appeals to me as it focuses on issues relevant to personality, not just people who happened to have some ideas about personality long ago."
"The activity boxes provide good opportunities for students to think more in depth about constructs and to apply the ideas being discussed in the chapters. The suggested readings are also quite useful…I like the fact that a variety of authors have contributed to the book - I think that the inclusion of a variety of ’voices’ strengthens the book and gives students a variety of perspectives on the field." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
PERSONALITY: CONTEMPORARY THEORY AND RESEARCH is intended for undergraduate students studying the topic of personality. Its two major sections discuss the fundamental issues of personality, tracing the origins of the field in modern research, and examining the topics studied by contemporary psychologists. The origins of personality in heredity, the structure of the brain, gender, and childhood are probed. Other sections of the book look at the manifestations and effects of personality in morality, sex roles, aggression, and relationship with others. All of these topics have broader relevance to other areas of psychology, as they focus on the age-old question of defining what makes a person an individual.
