Cognitive Psychology: Connecting Mind, Research and Everyday Experience
Informative, yet engaging €" viewpoints of personality psychologists today
Â
Written in an informal, conversational style, Carver and Scheier engage students by helping them understand how various perspectives of the field of personality can apply to their own lives.
Â
This book describes a range of viewpoints that are used by personality psychologists today. Each perspective on personality is presented in a pair of chapters, introduced by a prologue that provides an overview of that perspective€s orienting assumptions and core themes. By starting with these orienting assumptions, you€ll be placed right inside the thought processes of the theorists, as you go on to read the chapters themselves. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of current problems within that theoretical viewpoint and the authors€ analysis about its future prospects. The result is a book that is engaging and enjoyable as well as informative.
