Title overview

Personality Psychology: Foundations and Findings is an evidence-based text with integrated cultural references and excellent coverage of the key building blocks of the subject matter–namely, the “foundations”(traits, genetics, self and identity, neuroscience, intrapsychic aspects, regulations and motivation, and cognition as it applies to the human personality) and the “findings” (the cutting edge research in each of these areas in which personality psychologists are actively engaged every day).
