The Normal Personality : A New Way Of Thinking About People

  • The Normal Personality : A New Way Of Thinking About People

  • Attribution

    Steven Reiss

  • Publication Details

    Book, Cambridge University Press, 2008

  • Links

  • Description

    Many Psychologists regard personality and mental illness as closely related. They believe that dark, unconscious mental forces that originated in childhood cause personality traits, personal troubles, and mental illnesses. Reiss shows how normal motives, not anxiety or traumatic childhood experiences, underlie many personality and relationship problems, such as divorce, infidelity, combativeness, workaholism, loneliness, authoritarianism, weak leadership styles, perfectionism, underachievement, arrogance, extravagance, stuffed shirt-ism, disloyalty, disorganization, and overanxiety.

  • Description

    The author of the controversial book The Nurture Assumption tackles the biggest mystery in all of psychology: What makes people differ so much in personality and behavior? And if psychologists can’t explain why identical twins are different, they also can’t explain why each of us differs from everyone else. Based on a principle of evolutionary psychology?the idea that the human mind is a toolbox of special-purpose devices?Harris’s theory explains how attributes we all have in common can make us different.

On The Psychobiology Of Personality : Essays In Honor Of Marvin Zuckerman

  • On The Psychobiology Of Personality : Essays In Honor Of Marvin Zuckerman

  • Attribution

    edited by Robert M. Stelmack

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Elsevier, 2004

  • Links

  • Description

    The theoretical model of sensation seeking changed as a consequence of research on the biological correlates of sensation seeking which included biochemical as well as psychophysiological variables. One of these areas, augmenting/reducing of the cortical evoked potential, has provided a well replicated model of brain functioning in high and low sensation seekers, and Siegel has extended this into a model for sensation seeking in cats and rats. Investigators at other universities, Bardo at the University of Kentucky and LeMoal and Simon at the University of Bordeaux, have used the sensation seeking model to investigate the psychobiological basis of novelty seeking in rats. Zuckerman’s interest in the biological basis of the trait of sensation seeking broadened into a more general interest in the biological bases of personality, culminating in his book: Psychobiology of Personality, 1991 and many book chapters and articles on the subject. More recent research attempted to place sensation seeking within the context of new structural models for personality traits. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
