domains of knowledge about personality - Dispositional, Biological,
Intrapsychic, Cognitive/Experimental, Social and Cultural, and
Adjustment - Personality Psychology, second edition presents an
accessible, contemporary look at personality as a collection of
interrelated topics and themes. This text focuses on the scientific
basis of our knowledge about personality psychology, providing both
classical and contemporary viewpoints supported by research and
theory. This fully revised new edition retains the strengths of the
first edition whilst introducing contemporary theories and debates
on personality that are relevant to an international audience. Key
features: A completely revised chapter on Genetics and Personality
from contributor Stephanie van den Berg covering ethics and major
new debates in the field. Updated chapter on intelligence. Updated
chapter on Psychoanalytic Approaches with two previous chapters now
merged into one, providing a more streamlined overview of the
field. Updated chapter on Personality Disorders bringing it fully
in line with DSM-5. Extensive pedagogy including Application boxes,
which look at how personality theory and research is applied to
real-world situations, and A Closer Look boxes which explore core
topics and important studies to enhance student understanding.

reflect on what they have learned and apply the theory to their own
life experiences. Available for the first time through the Connect
