Description

This successful text puts “personality” back into the personality course, integrating the classic insights of the personality theorists with modern research in a manner that will fascinate and encourage deeper thought.

This text explores classic theory from a perspective that encourages critical thinking and fosters intellectual insight with respect to human nature.  For example, it shows the relevance of classic theory to topics of personality and culture, evolution, ego, gender, and person-situation interactionism.

Employing the highest scientific standards, Personality also uses a wide range of unique and provocative pedagogical devices that have been shown to motivate students. Hailed as the best-written, most relevant personality textbook on the market, Friedman and Schustack's third edition brings the field of personality to today's diverse student body.


Features

  • Increased coverage of cross-cultural and gender issues, integrated throughout and covered in separate chapters (Chapter 11 “Male-Female” and Chapter 13 “Culture and Ethnicity”), bring these contemporary topics to the forefront of student learning. 
  • “Self Understanding” boxes enable students to assess their mastery of the material.  
  • “Famous Personality” boxes illustrate select concepts using well-known and contemporary examples–exactly the types of examples to which students best relate.
  • Application chapters provide students with their own opportunity to apply theory to practice and thereby deepen their conceptual understanding of the field of personality (Chapter 11- Male—Female Differences; Chapter 12 - Stress, Adjustment, and Health; Chapter 13 - Culture and Ethnicity: Processes and Differences; and Chapter 14 - Love and Hate).
  • “Classic to Current” boxes illustrate how classic ideas have led to current research in various perspectives of personality, keeping this edition extremely current and applicable to students’ lives.
  • Timelines of developments within the field help students understand the intellectual progression of ideas and the connections between science and society.


New To This Edition

  • New boxes -- “Sharpen Your Thinking” -- help students understand how the assumptions of specific personality approaches affect life and society.  For example, “Are people responsible for actions outside their awareness?”  “Protecting Children from Dangerous Videogames?”  “Should Political Candidates Reveal their Big 5 Profiles?”  “Is a Single-Sex Classroom Discrimination or Sensitivity?” all apply theories of personality to hot-button issues in today’s society.
  • New material on biological, trait, and evolutionary aspects of personality is integrated throughout the text, with an emphasis on critical discussion of strengths, weaknesses, and misuses of these approaches, to keep students informed of the most current concerns in the field of personality psychology.
  • Updated discussions of happiness, hate, and culture help students understand the timely topics of terror / conflict and self-actualization / healing, all of which are increasingly relevant to today’s students.
