A TEXTBOOK WITH A PASSION FOR PERSONALITYThis engaging, comprehensive introduction to the field of personality psychology integrates discussion of personality theories, research, assessment techniques, and applications of specific theories. The Psychology of Personality: Viewpoints, Research, and Applications introduces students to many important figures in the field, including Freud, Jung, Adler, Horney, Erikson, Maslow, Allport, Cattell, Bandura, Mischel, and others. The book not only covers classic issues and research in personality, but also looks at genetics and personality, neurological considerations in personality, the evolutionary perspective, the "Big Five" model of personality, and other contemporary issues.

Rezension zu „The Psychology of Personality “
"Bernie Carducci's The Psychology of Personality is a rare treat for both instructors and students. It is comprehensive and scholarly, but is written in an engaging and conversational style -- one that makes the subject come alive." Ronald E. Riggio, Director, Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College"Lucid, engaging, and pedagogically sound--The Psychology of Personality by Bernie Carducci has all the essential elements of a first-class textbook. The whole of personality is covered, with theories, assessment, research, and application each receiving its due. The applications of personality psychology theory and research to a variety of everyday experiences help students to see the relevance of what they are studying and connect the textbook material more directly to their daily lives. Extra pluses include subheadings that point the student to the core issues of subsequent material; ancillaries written by the author with the same high standards as the text; thorough, well-written test questions than even cover tables and figures; and inventive and usable classroom enhancement ideas that make teaching easier and more fun." Lisa Gray-Shellberg, California State University, Dominguez Hills
"My students have always found Carducci's textbook informative, engaging, and interesting, and I know this revision will be as enthusiastically received as the first. This revision keeps the approachable, readable style of writing, the blend of theory and current research, and the sections on anxiety, self, and gender differences that my students found particularly interesting and pertinent from the first edition and adds important current research and teaching aids, like mini-lectures. I can't wait to start using it in my class!" Patricia Lee LLewellyn, PhD, Professor, Director of the Ainsworth Clinic, University of Virginia
