The Cambridge Handbook of Personality Psychology
Personality psychology is a rapidly maturing science making important
advances on both conceptual and methodological fronts. The Cambridge
Handbook of Personality Psychology offers a one-stop source for the most
up-to-date scientific personality psychology. It provides a summary of
cutting-edge personality research in all its forms, from DNA to political
influences on its development, expression, pathology and applications. The
chapters are informative, lively, stimulating and, sometimes, controversial
and the team of international authors, led by two esteemed editors, ensures a
truly wide range of theoretical perspectives. Each research area is discussed
in terms of scientific foundations, main theories and findings, and future
directions for research. With useful descriptions of technological approaches
(for example, molecular ics and functional neuroimaging) the
Handbook is an invaluable aid to understanding the central role played by
personality in psychology and will appeal to students of occupational, health,
clinical, cognitive and forensic psychology.
