This definitive volume lays the foundations for an interdisciplinary science of personality. Leading investigators present novel insights and findings from molecular genetics, child and life-span developmental psychology, neuroscience, dynamical systems theory, evolutionary psychology, and social cognition, as well as personality psychology itself, illuminating--and often reformulating--fundamental questions about the nature of personhood. The book sheds new light on the nature and origins of personality and individual differences, and challenges many traditional assumptions. It also points toward compelling new directions for future work in the field.

Industry Reviews

'Clearly summarizing the most recent, original research in personality, this volume will permit students as well as investigators to appreciate the areas of consensus as well as the sharp controversies in this vital domain of inquiry.' - Jerome Kagan, Department of Psychology, Harvard University 'The study of individual differences is undergoing a similar revolution to the one that recently transformed cognitive psychology into cognitive neuroscience. New methods involving unconscious measures of learning, genetics, and brain imaging allow us to probe the developing mechanisms of personality at many levels. This remarkable volume allows the reader to share in the dramatic changes that are changing the study of personality, while not losing sight of the cultural and evolutionary contexts in which individuals develop.' - Michael I. Posner, PhD, Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology, Weill-Cornell University Medical College
