Personality psychology - domains of knowledge about human nature

(2013) David M. Buss, Andreas Wismeijer, John Song, Randy J. Larsen

"Personality psychology" vektlegger seks kunnskapsområder når det gjelder menneskets natur. Boka fokuserer på det vitenskapelige grunnlaget for vår kunnskap om menneskets natur, støttet av forskning og teori. David Buss og Andreas Wismeijer er medforfattere av boka.

Larsen and Buss's Personality Psychology is based on a framework of six important domains of knowledge about personality functioning. These six domains are the dispositional domain (traits, trait taxonomies, and personality dispositions over time), the biological domain (physiology, genetics, evolution), the intrapsychic domain (psychodynamics, motives), the cognitive/experiential domain (cognition, emotion, and the self), the social and cultural domain (social interaction, gender, and culture), and the adjustment domain (stress, coping, health, and personality disorders). This book is based on the notion that these domains of knowledge represent the organizing structure of contemporary personality psychology.
