Description
Individual Differences and Personality, Fourth Edition provides a comprehensive overview of research regarding what personality is and how it differs between people. This book explores the study of personality, presenting basic principles of personality measurement, the concept of personality traits, and the major dimensions of personality variation. Further chapters examine personality change and stability, biological causal mechanisms, genetic and environmental influences, and evolutionary adaptive function. The book also investigates personality disorders and life outcomes that are predicted by personality characteristics, including relationships, work, and health. Additionally, it looks at individual differences beyond personality, such as mental abilities, religious beliefs, political attitudes, and sexuality. Revisions to the fourth edition include updates to all chapters and substantial new content, covering recent research on topics like long-term stability, impulse control, heritability of personality traits, and cross-cultural variation in sex differences.
