Product description

Review

"The authors seek to enhance the coverage of contemporary research findings in the field, with chapters streamlined to offer balanced coverage of competing theories." ( Times Higher Education, November 2010) "Though revised often and deeply over the past 40 years, say Cervone (U. of Illinois–Chicago) and Pervin (emeritus, Rutgers U.), the psychology textbook still presents the major theoretical perspectives on personality, integrates theory with research and case material, and provides the basis for comparing the theories." ( Book News Inc , November 2010)
