Written in an informal, conversational style, Carver and Scheier
engage students by helping them understand how various perspectives
of the field of personality can apply to their own lives. This book
describes a range of viewpoints that are used by personality
psychologists today. Each perspective on personality is presented
in a pair of chapters, introduced by a prologue that provides an
overview of that perspective's orienting assumptions and core
themes. By starting with these orienting assumptions, you'll be
placed right inside the thought processes of the theorists, as you
go on to read the chapters themselves. Each chapter concludes with
a discussion of current problems within that theoretical viewpoint
and the authors' analysis about its future prospects. The result is
a book that is engaging and enjoyable as well as informative.
Learning Goals Upon completing this book, readers should be able
to: Identify the ideas that form each theoretical viewpoint
Understand the importance of research and why the role of research
stresses the fact that personality psychology is a living, dynamic
process of ongoing scientific exploration See how each perspective
reflects fundamental assumptions about human nature and how
behaviour problems can arise and be treated from each perspective
Understand how the different viewpoints relate to each other and
the usefulness of blending theoretical viewpoints, treating
theories as complementary, rather than competing
