The Cambridge Handbook of Personality Psychology by Philip J Corr
Research on personality psychology is making important contributions to psychological science and applied psychology. This second edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Personality Psychology offers a one-stop resource for scientific personality psychology. It summarizes cutting-edge personality research in all its forms, including genetics, psychometrics, social-cognitive psychology, and real-world expressions, with informative and lively chapters that also highlight some areas of controversy. The team of renowned international authors, led by two esteemed editors, ensures a wide range of theoretical perspectives. Each research area is discussed in terms of scientific foundations, main theories and findings, and future directions for research. The handbook also features advances in technology, such as molecular genetics and functional neuroimaging, as well as contemporary statistical approaches. An invaluable aid to understanding the central role played by personality in psychology, it will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and the social sciences.
'The contributing authors move well beyond the dominant paradigm of personality traits- the 'Big Five' (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and consciousness)- to provide a rich tapestry of theories and findings that will be relevant to many psychologists, including those who may not classify themselves as personality psychologists per se' C. J. Jones, Choice
