How would you describe your personality, or can you? Whatever your
answer, this text will help you understand personality -- the
qualities and traits that form every individual's distinctive
character. You'll learn about theoretical explanations of
personality, and about the research that illuminates how those
theories are relevant in the world around you. Biographical
sketches of theorists and accounts of the stories behind
influential research programs help you see how classic and
contemporary findings relate to each other, and illustrate the
connection between theory and research. As you read, personality
tests encourage you to interact with the material -- and learn more
about your own personality.
This proven text fuses the best of theory-based and research-based
instruction to give readers an illuminating introduction to
personality that is accessible and understandable. The author pairs
"theory, application, and assessment" chapters with chapters that
describe the research programs aligned with every major theoretical
approach. Biographical sketches of theorists and accounts of the
stories behind influential research programs help readers gain an
understanding of how classic and contemporary findings relate to
each other, and reinforce the idea that theory and research
perpetuate one another. In-text self-assessments encourage readers
to interact with the material and allow them to learn more about
their own personality.
