Reviews & endorsements
'The contributing authors move well beyond the dominant paradigm of personality traits- the 'Big Five' (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and consciousness)- to provide a rich tapestry of theories and findings that will be relevant to many psychologists, including those who may not classify themselves as personality psychologists per se.'
