These are intellectually exciting times in the fields of
personality, cognition, and emotion, with rapid progress being
achieved at both theoretical and empirical levels. There are now
sufficient findings to provide the basis for integrative theories
within these disciplines. In Volume 2 of the series, the editors
and contributors examine the interactive influences of personality,
cognition, and emotion in order to attain a comprehensive
understanding of human behavior. Chapters in Part I focus on the
relevance to emotion and cognition of individual differences in
trait anxiety, emotional intelligence, aging, agentic traits, and
communal traits. By contrast, Part II is concerned with emotions
and with the relationships between emotional states and various
aspects of individual differences and cognitive processes: What
factors determine the nature and intensity of emotional experience?
How is an individual's behavior changed as a result of being in a
given emotional state? The concluding chapter, with over one
hundred references, presents an integration of the research areas
discussed in the book and provides an excellent theoretical
framework that will prove invaluable for further research and
theory. "After perusing the chapters included in Volume 2 . . . I
am firmly convinced that researchers and students interested in
personality and social psychology will find this book both
challenging and exciting. My congratulations to all those who
contributed in different ways to this significant work." From the
Foreword by Jan Strelau, Pro-Rector for Research Warsaw School of
Social Sciences and Humanities From a review " S]ets the bar very
high in seeking to integrate domains that are divergent, not only
in terms of their content . . . but also in terms of their
preferred methodologies, which frequently appear to be antithetical
. . . . Although the lofty aim of integration is ultimately
unrealized, at the end of the book the reader is left with a
newfound impression that it is, quite possibly, realizable." K. V.
