Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today's world is being shaped by migration and globalization at ever increasing rates. As these forces spread, more and more people with different cultural backgrounds and different personalities come into contact and interact with each other. Not only does this phenomenon pertain to how we work and do business together, but it also applies to the people we spend our leisure time with and trust with our private thoughts and feelings: our friends. Insights from cultural and personality psychology into friendship processes are therefore key to understanding and facilitating friendship processes in these current times of diversified multiculturality and accentuated individuality. The present book presents a selection of current international theoretical perspectives and new empirical insights from scholars in cultural and personality psychology on friendship. Apart from chapters that are primarily from cultural psychology or primarily from personality psychology, there are chapters that apply both perspectives simultaneously as well as two explicitly integrative chapters that integrate the book's chapters into an overarching theoretical framework. The forty authors of the twenty-four chapters in this book come from twenty-nine locations in fifteen countries from around the world. The present book is therefore a paragon of internationality and diversity in and of itself and may be a stepping stone to future integrative research projects on the phenomenon that we refer to as "friendship" so collectively but that we experience so differently"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we come to be who we are? Why do we differ in our personalities? How do these differences matter in life? Individual Differences and Personality aims to describe how and why personality varies among people. Unlike books that focus on individual theorists, this book focuses on current research and theory on the nature of personality and related individual differences. The book begins by discussing how personality is measured, the concept of a personality trait, and the basic dimensions of personality. This leads to a discussion of the origins of personality, with descriptions of its developmental course, its biological causes, its genetic and environmental influences, and its evolutionary function. The concept of a personality disorder is then described, followed by a discussion of the influence of personality on life outcomes in relationships, work, and health. Finally, the book examines the important differences between individuals in the realms of mental abilities, of beliefs and attitudes, and of behavior. - Presents a scientific approach to personality and related individual differences, as well as theory and research on the fundamental questions about human psychological variation - New edition presents findings from dozens of new research studies of the past six years - Includes new chapter on vocational interests and a revised chapter on personality disorders reflecting DSM-5 formulation - Contains streamlined descriptions of measurement concepts and heritability research - Includes various boxes containing interesting asides that help to maintain the student's attention
