Publisher Synopsis
'Clearly summarizing the most recent, original research in personality, this volume will permit students as well as investigators to appreciate the areas of consensus as well as the sharp controversies in this vital domain of inquiry.' - Jerome Kagan, Department of Psychology, Harvard University 'The study of individual differences is undergoing a similar revolution to the one that recently transformed cognitive psychology into cognitive neuroscience. New methods involving unconscious measures of learning, genetics, and brain imaging allow us to probe the developing mechanisms of personality at many levels. This remarkable volume allows the reader to share in the dramatic changes that are changing the study of personality, while not losing sight of the cultural and evolutionary contexts in which individuals develop.' - Michael I. Posner, PhD, Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology, Weill-Cornell University Medical College Read more...
