This volume graphically demonstrates how differences in social
class affect personality. It does so by presenting research in
class character covering a broad range of phenomena in the area
shared by psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and anthropology.
Concerned with key issues of substance and method in this area, the
essays in Class and Personality in Society provide firsthand
experience in the divergent ways in which specialists view and
explore the relationship between personality and social status. The
material offers a picture of how, out of controversy and confusion,
scholars and researchers can achieve order, clarity, and
sophistication. The editor's extensive introductory essay provides
frames of reference from the social sciences pertinent to this
aspect of social psychology. It describes historic trends and
suggests fresh answers to controversial issues such as the nature
of American class structure, the contribution of psychoanalysis to
psychological research, and the relative importance, to
personality, of early training versus current circumstance. Calling
for more sociological awareness in psychological research, Grey
documents his views with specific examples. The discussion is
further enlivened by its pertinence to such current problems as the
culture of poverty and community psychiatry. Class and Personality
in Society was originally intended for use in courses in Social
Psychology and Culture and Personality, and in sociology courses
that discuss how social institutions and processes are related to
individual personality. It may also provide stimulating
supplemental reading in introductory psychology or sociology
course. It will also prove valuable to professionals in specialized
programs in clinical psychology and psychiatry concentrating on
community mental health.
