Title overview

For courses in Personality Psychology

An introduction to personality that combines classic and current research.

Personality: Classic Theories and Modern Research puts 'personality' back into the personality course, integrating the insights of classic theorists with modern research in a manner that will captivate students. Throughout the text, authors Howard Friedman and Miriam Schustack encourage students to think critically about human nature, during the course and beyond. The sixth edition includes updated data as well as examples that reveal how classic discoveries, when paired with modern research, are freshly relevant to current challenges in the real world.
