This Eighth Edition reflects the new developments within personality psychology, and gives the student a picture of the field as a cumulative, integrative science that builds on its rich past and now allows a much more coherent view of the whole functioning individual in the social world. This revision, subtitled: Toward an Integrative Science of the Person, is committed to making that integration, and its practical applications and personal relevance to everyday life, even more clear and compelling for our students.

In this new edition the focus is placed on distilling how findings at each of the six major levels of analysis of personality (trait-disposition, biological, psychodynamic-motivational, behavioral-conditioning, phenomenological-humanistic, and social-cognitive) still speak to and inform each other, and how they add to the current state of the science and its continuing growth.

Personality psychologists have basically shown their field is BS like phrenology or alchemy. They literally hold up as major findings that trait based systems don't work in a scientific sense. At best, they're crude heuristics primarily useful for evaluating first impressions and systematizing problems. At other points, they literally put forth negative correlations, zero correlations, and insanely small correlations as supporting rather than refuting claims that are obviously false to anybody who as ever been around humans before. It seems they're unaware of any possible logical structures beyond linearity. There's some great stuff on evolutionary, genetic, and other biological influences on personality and behavioral conditioning. Too bad the author is clearly biased against what was described as a logical, analytical approach to the field. Much of the later half of the book is new age pseudoreligion nonsense.
