Originally published in 1988, this second edition of The
Construction of Personality has been substantially revised and
updated. The author provides an introduction to current theory and
research in the psychology of personality at the time and examines
this work from the perspective of constructivism. As a consequence
of this constructivist approach, the book covers topics from social
psychology (e.g. person perception, impression formation) as well
as more conventional areas of personality. In this new edition the
constructivist perspective is emphasized by the addition of a new
chapter in which the constructivist approach to personality is
presented, and the chapters on the lay and self perspectives have
been extensively re-written. All the other chapters have been
revised to include recent material.
The second volume in the Advances in Personality Psychology series,
this book presents an authoritative collection of works by leading
experts in the field. It focuses on three of the major issues in
personality psychology: personality, affect and arousal;
personality and intelligence; and personality structure. The first
part of the book seeks to analyse cognitive biases dependent on
anxiety and the biological foundations of thought and action. It
also looks at the influence of temperamental traits on reaction to
traumatic events. In the second part, contributions consider the
mutual relations between personality and intelligence, the
similarities and differences between personality and intelligence,
and the cognitive mechanisms of human intelligence and personality.
The final part analyses personality structure across cultures and
presents a model of personality relevant to situational
descriptions. All the authors are experienced and renowned experts
in the field of personality psychology. The volume incorporates
critical reviews, bringing the reader up-to-date with key issues,
and unique data from contemporary empirical research projects,
reflecting the diversity and vigour of current work on personality
psychology.

In the first volume of this new series, Sarah E. Hampson brings together a unique collection of critical reviews of key areas of personality psychology and integrative accounts of important work by internationally recognised experts in the field. Advances in Personality Psychology includes chapters on cross-cultural evidence for the Big-Five framework for personality description, type and trait approaches to understanding childhood personality, developments in psychometrics, the relationship between hostility and cardiovascular disease, and the connections between personality and emotions. In further chapters the view that personality cannot change in adulthood is challenged and the importance of environmental factors is revealed by an observational study of twins. This state-of-the-art volume will provide students, teachers and researchers of contemporary personality psychology with a highly valuable resource on recent developments in this area.
