Personality Psychology

Personality makes us who we are and influences every aspect of our lives - from how we interact with
others, to how we respond in stressful situations. Personality Psychology uses a unique organizational
framework to explore the six key domains of knowledge about personality - Dispositional, Biological,
Intrapsychic, Cognitive/Experiential, Social/Cultural and Adjustment. This third edition focuses on the scientific
basis of current understanding, highlighting contemporary research while also covering classic viewpoints.
