The field of personality psychology is now entering a golden age of sorts and the changes made to this edition convey a discipline that is vibrant in a way it never has been before. After all, no other field is devoted to the study of all that it means to be human. Like the editions before it, major findings, both classical and contemporary, are presented in the context of six key domains―Dispositional, Biological, Intrapsychic, Cognitive/Experimental, Social and/Culture, and Adjustment―providing a foundation for the analysis and understanding of human personality.
This 1st Canadian edition is one of only two Canadian adaptations on the market today and has been significantly updated to reflect the Canadian context, as well as, streamlined to provide a more economical option for students.
