Abstract:
"The new Second Edition of Personality: Theories and Applications is organized around three general questions about personality psychology: What are the basic facts and ideas? How do we study them? How do we apply them now? These three organizing questions provide a consistent focus throughout the book, as Shiraev explores the foundations of personality psychology, its core theories, and its domains of application. Coverage of classical and contemporary systems of thought is both chronological and comprehensive and situates personality psychology within an interdisciplinary and global context, highlighting this diverse, cross-cultural, and cross-national field. A new chapter on the digital domain of personality showcases the author's expertise in reputation management and presents students with a highly relevant and engaging application of personality psychology today"-- Provided by publisher.
