Title overview

Personality Psychology: Understanding Yourself and Others presents an up-to-date overview of this fascinating subfield of psychology. Committed to teaching readers about both personality psychology and life itself, authors Jean Twenge and W. Keith Campbell address pressing questions about friendship, relationships, health, happiness and more.

The 3rd Edition offers fresh coverage of resonant topics. These include troubling online behaviors, such as ghosting and cyberbullying, and the link between self-esteem and social status.
