Synopsis
The latest edition of a leading and engaging discussion of personality psychology In the newly revised, sixth edition of The Person: A New Introduction to Personality Psychology , a team of distinguished researchers delivers an engaging and personal introduction to personality science as it is currently expressed in contemporary research and theory and in the context of specific individual lives. The authors show how cutting edge research and theory help us understand the complex dynamics of real human lives, including the life of the reader. They also present a developmental perspective from which to understand personality. This book includes the presentation of 29 individual case studies of well-known personalities, from Lady Gaga to Charles Darwin, each of which illustrates a key area or idea in personality psychology. Following the development of personality from the display of infantile temperament traits through the evolution of a person's life goals, values, and integrative stories that we construct and internalize to make narrative sense of our lives, The Person also includes: A thoroughly engaging story about what it means to be a good person and how people are different from one another Comprehensive explorations of the latest research in personality science as applied to case studies of contemporary and historical persons Practical discussions of how both human evolution and human culture shape our lives A literate and compelling style that engages the reader in a personal relationship with the authors Perfect for undergraduate students of personality psychology, The Person: A New Introduction to Personality Psychology will aso benefit non-psychology majors and a broad audience of students and laypeople with an interest in what makes different personalities unique and interesting.
