Description
Individual Differences and Personality provides an in-depth exploration of personality, mood, motivation, and intelligence, examining their applications across various fields such as psychology, health, education, and sporting achievement. This fourth edition has been updated to include new chapters on "toxic" personality traits and real-life applications, offering a comprehensive understanding of modern theories and psychometric methodology. The book delves into the processes that cause individuals to differ in personality and intelligence, discussing key concepts such as factor analysis, reliability, validity, bias, test-construction, and test-use. With self-assessment questions, further reading, and online resources, this text is ideal for students taking modules on personality and individual differences. By critically evaluating both classic and modern theories and methodologies, including the Dark Triad, emotional intelligence, and psychopathy, this book offers a non-mathematical grounding in psychometric principles.
