Using a novel organizational framework, this text presents the field of contemporary personality psychology as a collection of interrelated topics and themes. It emphasises the scientific basis of understanding human nature covers topics that do not fit into the framework of theory-based texts.
Personality makes us who we are and influences every aspect of our lives - from how we interact with
others, to how we respond in stressful situations. Personality Psychology uses a unique organizational
framework to explore the six key domains of knowledge about personality - Dispositional, Biological,
Intrapsychic, Cognitive/Experiential, Social/Cultural and Adjustment. This third edition focuses on the scientific
basis of current understanding, highlighting contemporary research while also covering classic viewpoints.
Key features:
Updated chapter on Culture and Personality with an expanded review of international research
Extensively revised chapter on Personality Disorders, covering the DSM-5 and its hybrid model
New and refreshed pedagogy including 'Application boxes', which examine how personality
theories and research are used in real-world situations
'A Closer Look' sections, which explore core topics and influential studies to enhance students'
understanding
New and updated Exercises to encourage critical reflection and the application of theory to
personal experience
A fully revised chapter on Psychoanalytic Approaches to Personality, including historical
perspectives and extended coverage of Object Relations Theory and Ego Psychology
