By uniquely organising coverage into six domains of personality functioning (biological, intrapsychic, dispositional, cognitive/experiential, social and cultural, and the adjustment domain), this book interweaves contemporary research with classic and modern theories within the context of each of the domains. By adopting this unique framework, the authors encourage students to view the whole person as the sum of influences and effects of each of the domains of personality functioning. The newest option for a personality course, this text brings the subject to life with a vivid, colourful layout - the first personality textbook to incorporate a four-colour design.
