Özet:
"Does personality vary from culture to culture? Are personality tests accurate ways to measure personality? Does birth order affect personality? Do romantic partners need similar personalities for relationship success? Are there genes for specific personality attributes? Great Myths of Personality takes a close look at these and 25 other popular beliefs about the nature of personality. In doing so, it teaches critical thinking skills and introduces key ideas and concepts of personality psychology in an engaging and accessible manner. It provides a thorough look at myths and misconceptions about personality in popular culture today, from the nature and assessment of personality to its determinants and consequences. While discussing current debates and controversies, the authors ground their work in the latest research and scientific literature. Designed to be read alone or in conjunction with a traditional personality psychology textbook, this is an illuminating look at the truth behind issues at the center of contemporary personality studies."-- Provided by publisher.
