The systems framework followed in the textbook offers a unique perspective on personality psychology theory and research that lends itself well to introducing undergraduate students to the field of personality psychology. Within the systems framework, the textbook offers a thorough review of both past and current empirical research in the field of personality psychology. -- Eric Lindsey, Penn State University Berks Campus\u003cbr\u003eA refreshing alternative to texts that are divided by theory. I believe the organization of the book is optimal; instead of organizing by theory, the book addresses personality as a whole. I like how the writing was relatable for students and addresses issues in which they would be interested. I have been desperately searching for a book such as this. -- Lyra Stein, Rutgers University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Examining Personality  Chapter 1: What Is Personality?
