Description
Personality: A Systems Approach offers the most contemporary, integrated approach to the study of personality by viewing personality as a system of interacting parts. Rather than treating theories in isolation, it provides an introduction to the personality system and its study, followed by a focus on its parts, personality organization and personality development. It also integrates research of historical significance and contemporary works that have earned empirical support and forges clear connections to other subfields of psychology. The book's systems approach supports a better understanding of emerging trends in personality research and shows how motives, emotion, cognition, self and development work together. In this third edition, John D. Mayer, joined by co-authors Michael A. Faber and Carolyn Morgan, incorporates new research, refreshed case examples and new coverage of AI and technology in relation to personality.
Now in full colour and supported by a range of pedagogical features, including new learning objectives and visual material to aid learning and engagement. This is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate psychology courses on personality.
