This book provides a comprehensive overview of research regarding what personality is and how and why it differs between people. It begins with a description of the study of personality and then presents basic principles of personality measurement, the concept of personality traits, and the major dimensions of personality variation. Personality disorders are examined as are life outcomes (such as relationships, work, and health) that are predicted by personality characteristics.
