This handbook is a powerful example of the breadth of the field. The contributions of over 75 leading scholars are organized into one volume. This fourth edition will be required reading for graduate students and will help scholars continue to integrate the diverse approaches to personality.\"--William Revelle, PhD, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This fourth edition is a tour de force! Chapters cover the gamut of contemporary personality theory and research, ranging from biological to cultural approaches. Several chapters unpack in great detail the biological underpinnings of personality. A particularly great addition to this volume is Carol Dweck’s chapter on her integrative theory of motivation, personality, and development. The writing is engaging and clear, at a level of detail suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates; instructors can pick and choose chapters and the order in which they appear in a syllabus. This is a terrific resource for any psychologist’s bookshelf.\"--Jennifer Crocker, PhD, Ohio Eminent Scholar in Social Psychology, The Ohio State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The contributors to this book are a stellar group of researchers and scholars. As a developmental scientist, I am particularly interested in the numerous chapters in the fourth edition that touch on developmental issues from a personality psychology perspective. I am also excited to see the fundamental topics of emotion and self-regulation addressed from so many different perspectives. The knowledgeable and nuanced discussions of important topics will provide graduate students, researchers, and instructors with a valuable overview of the field. This is an excellent volume for graduate classes on personality.\"--Nancy Eisenberg, PhD, Regents' Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Personality\u003c\/i\u003e has been the go-to reference for summaries of cutting-edge personality science for decades.
