The various perspectives of the field of personality provide the organizing framework for this text.  Each perspective is presented in two chapters and is introduced by a prologue that describes the assumptions and themes of the perspective.

 

As the book’s title implies, there are many perspectives a person might take on personality, many ways to think about human nature. This book describes a range of viewpoints that are used by personality psychologists today.  Each perspective on personality is presented in a pair of chapters, introduced by a prologue. The prologue provides an overview of that perspective’s orienting assumptions and core themes. By starting with these orienting assumptions, you’ll be placed right inside the thought processes of the theorists, as you go on to read the chapters themselves. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of current problems within that theoretical viewpoint and the authors’ analysis about its future prospects. Written in an informal, conversation style, Carver and Scheier draw students into the ideas and give them examples of how these ideas can apply to their own life.  The result is a book that is engaging and enjoyable as well as informative.

Q:  How much do you emphasize research in your course?

A:  The authors believe that ideas and intuitions are valuable, but an idea shouldn’t lie around too long before someone checks to see whether it actually works. For this reason, along with each theory, we discuss research that bears on the theory. This emphasis on the role of research stresses the fact that personality psychology is a living, dynamic process of ongoing scientific exploration.

 

Q:  Do you like the freedom to teach this course in whatever fashion you want?

A:  Each theoretical section of the book is intended to stand on its own, with no assumptions about previous exposure to other parts of the book. Thus, instructors can move through the perspectives in whatever order they prefer.

 

Q:  Do you encourage your students to think critically about personality theories and the theorists they came from?

A:  “The Theorist and the Theory” boxes focus on how the personal experiences of some of the theorists have influenced the form their theories took. In several cases, theorists almost literally took events from their own lives as models of human events more generally, and went on to derive an entire theory from those personal experiences. Not all cases are quite this striking, but personal experience does appear to have played a role in the development of several views of personality.

 

Q:  Do you wish your current text clarified how the various theories can be blended with each other, showing synthesis of disparate elements?

A:  The final chapter of this text takes up the question of how different views relate to each other. The main goal of this chapter is to tie together ideas from theories discussed separately in earlier chapters. A second goal is to consider the usefulness of blending theoretical viewpoints, treating theories as complementary to each other rather than as competitors or as right/wrong.

  • Updated throughout, the content of this edition differs in several ways from that of the fifth edition. These changes reflect four years of rapid change in the continually evolving research literature of personality psychology.
  • Most up-to-date treatment available!  The incredibly rapid advances in behavioral genetics, molecular genetics, temperament, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes have been integrated into Chapter 6 and an extensively reorganized Chapter 7, “Biological Processes and Personality”.
  • Revised Chapter 4, “Types, Traits, and Interactionism,” incorporates the continuing advances on trait structure and how traits influence behavior (mostly within the framework of the five-factor model).  The five-factor model is also mentioned in several other chapters.
  • Revised chapter on Psychosocial Issues (Ch.14) now includes examination of adult attachment patterns and their impact on personality and social behavior, as well as discussion of work on models relating to self-actualization (self-determination theory, terror management theory).
  • Includes new material and reorganization in both chapters of the Cognitive Self-Regulation perspective, including a discussion of connectionist models, contextual models of behavior, and a discussion of process by which intentions are implemented.
  • Includes 300 new citations, ensuring that the newest research is well represented.
