This handbook is the first volume to provide a comprehensive look
at personality development. It features a state-of-the-art
examination of the field, an area that is enjoying a resurgence in
popularity. Five major types of advances, all of which are
represented in this volume, are the result of the recent burst in
research activity in this area: 1) new theoretical perspectives, 2)
higher-quality empirical studies, 3) more sophisticated research
designs and analyses, 4) attention to development across the
lifespan, and 5) the growing prominence of interdisciplinary
approaches to personality development. The Handbook of Personality
Development is comprehensive across the lifespan, in its range of
personality constructs, and in its coverage of theoretical and
methodological frameworks. It is the first volume to address the
most important personality development theoretical frameworks in
one location--the evolutionary, physiological, behavioral genetic,
and socio-cultural perspectives. The book also reviews new
statistical techniques that allow for the estimation of individual
differences in stability and the analysis of change. The latter
part of the book focuses on personality development over the
lifespan, from infancy to older adulthood. The authors address
personality variables such as emotion regulation, temperament, and
self-concept across the lifespan. The book concludes with a
compelling capstone chapter by Dan McAdams on how personality
develops. The Handbook of Personality Development provides an
historical account of, and summary of, the most significant and
important findings in the area, along with suggestions for future
research. Intended for researchers and advanced students in
personality, developmental, social, clinical, and educational
psychology, as well as related fields such as family studies,
sociology, education, nursing, behavioral genetics,
neuropsychology, and psychophysiology, the handbook also serves as
a valuable resource in advanced courses that address personality
development.
