Personality Psychology: Domains of Knowledge About Human Nature 3rd Edition (2008) (PDF) by Randy Larsen

Description

Larsen and Buss’s Personality Psychology is based on a framework of six important domains of knowledge about personality functioning. These six domains are the dispositional domain (traits, trait taxonomies, and personality dispositions over time), the biological domain (physiology, genetics, evolution), the intrapsychic domain (psychodynamics, motives), the cognitive/experiential domain (cognition, emotion, and the self), the social and cultural domain (social interaction, gender, and culture), and the adjustment domain (stress, coping, health, and personality disorders). This book is based on the notion that these domains of knowledge represent the organizing structure of contemporary personality psychology.

User’s Reviews

This is an excellent book: well-written, up-to-date, comprehensive. It is more to the point than many undergrad psych textbooks. I find many other books too conversational. This book, Personality Psychology, gets to the point; explains concepts very thoroughly and it is not overly dense or difficult to read. Also — this may not be terribly important for most undergrads — the index and bibliographies are very useful.

A very well-written and detailed book about the psychological study of personality. Many different approaches to studying personality are discussed as are a few different models. The 16PF, NEO-PI, and Eyenck’s model are discussed and the influence of environment on your genetic heritability for personality is also included (epigenetics).
