Donald W. Fiske's professional life and collaborations are
themselves a textbook in the development of the field of
personality. From the field's early origins in personnel selection,
rating accuracy, and psychotherapy outcomes, to its current status
of theoretical and methodological maturity -- complete with
mid-life crises -- the field has been fundamentally changed by
Fiske's work, and the changes have influenced generations of
scholars.
This festschrift is a celebration of Fiske's impact, but not
merely of his impact on the history of personality research.
Instead, the volume focuses on ongoing debates and issues that have
been framed or influenced by Fiske's work. The festschrift's three
sections are organized around three themes in Fiske's writings --
themes that also correspond to three periods in his career.
This volume examines current thinking about what can be known
about personality, how constructs relevant to personality
psychology are best measured, and how to approach specific research
problems in personality and related fields. The contributors create
an eminent cross-section of the development and current status of
personality methods. In addition to Fiske's eminent contemporaries,
the contributors to this volume include Fiske's former students,
collaborators, and his two children, both of whom are behavioral
scientists. The accomplishments of his students, colleagues, and
children testifies to the range of psychologists who have benefited
from his scholarly and practical wisdom.
This collection is a valuable textbook for an advanced graduate
course as well as appealing as a scholarly resource. Many of the
contributors are renown psychological leaders who have made
available their latest original thoughts. The book concludes with
an essay by Fiske offering his perspective on the central themes:
behavioral and social science metatheory, methods, and
strategies.
