Personality: Determinants, Dynamics and Potentials, first published
in 2000, is a comprehensive survey of research and theory in
personality psychology. The book provides balanced coverage of
biological, cognitive, affective, social, and interpersonal
determinants of personality functioning and individual differences.
The authors organize these factors within an overarching
theoretical framework that highlights the dynamic transactions
between individuals and the sociocultural environment, and the
human capacities for self-reflection and self-regulation. The
book's broad, integrative approach to the study of personality
reveals how advances throughout the psychological sciences
illuminate the classic questions of personality psychology. The
volume is designed as a textbook for advanced-level courses and as
a reference for professionals in psychology and related
disciplines. The book meets personality psychology's need for an
integrative analysis of the field that reviews recent advances,
places them in their historical context, and identifies
particularly promising avenues for the discipline's future
development.

In this new core textbook, experienced teacher, researcher, and
author Daniel Cervone provides students with a new and exciting way
of understanding psychology. Cervone organises material around
three levels of analysis - person, mind, and brain. He employs a
person-first format that enables students to make sense of the
latest research through what they understand best: people. Working
closely with Daniel Cervone, fellow teacher Tracy Caldwell has
developed an engaging pedagogy from the Preview Questions at the
beginning of each section to the Self-Tests at the end of each
chapter. This is an accessible introduction to Psychology for
undergraduates. This book can also be purchased with the
breakthrough online resource, LaunchPad, which offers innovative
media content, curated and organised for easy assignability.
LaunchPad's intuitive interface presents quizzing, flashcards,
animations and much more to make learning actively engaging.
A major development in psychological science is increased
recognition that persons and environments constitute dynamically
interacting systems.This book presents advances from
internationally renowned researchers in personality, social,
cognitive, developmental, and cultural psychology, and other
fields, who construct a science of the individual by studying
individuals in context. Contributors build on seminal work by
Walter Mischel (especially his citation classic, "Toward a
Cognitive Social Learning Reconceptualization of Personality,"
reprinted in the volume). A commentary from Mischel himself places
the contributions in historical perspective and articulates the
novel portrait of human nature that they yield.
