Personality
About this book
This proven text fuses the best of theory-based and research-based instruction to give you an illuminating introduction to personality that is accessible and understandable. Burger pairs "theory, application, and assessment" chapters with chapters that describe the research programs aligned with every major theoretical approach. Biographical sketches of theorists and accounts of the stories behind influential research programs help you gain an understanding of how classic and contemporary findings relate to each other, and reinforce the idea that theory and research perpetuate one another. In-text self-assessments encourage you to interact with the material and allow you to learn more about your own personality.
