The first volume in the series considers cognitive style, which is
an important element in this emerging work and may well prove to be
the missing link in the study of individual differences. Cognitive
style is an individual's preferred and habitual approach to both
organising and representing information. The purpose of the book is
to reflect current academic debate focusing on key models of style.
In this respect, the book is designed as a contemporary review of
current thinking in the field, set within the framework of a
conceptual synthesis of the research. To this end, a variety of
expert workers' from the field contribute to the book, providing
recent, relevant and alternative perspectives upon the nature of
style differences and their implication for psychological theory
and applied developments. The book considers an area relevant to a
very wide audience. The topic is of interest to both research
psychologists and applied social scientists, in the areas of
personality and individual differences, counselling and therapy,
occupational psychology and human resource management, and training
and education. This book is also appropriately placed on reading
lists for undergraduates and postgraduates in psychology,
management and business studies, and education. This first volume
in the series looking at individual differences, draws upon an
international base to present models of cognitive style that
reflect a movement toward consensus in the field. The contributors
to this volume are: Richard Riding and Stephen Rayner, UK
