Personality Psychology: Domains of Knowledge About Human Nature, 4e by Randy Larsen, David Buss, and John Song is an English-language textbook that goes in depth into knowledge about personality. This book is intended for students in higher education who want to explore scientific insights about personality.
The book covers six important domains of knowledge about personality: dispositional, biological, intrapsychic, cognitive-experiential, social and cultural, and adjustment. This fourth edition offers a practice-oriented approach with a strong focus on current scientific knowledge and the integration of recent research. Key updates include new learning objectives for each chapter, revisions to DSM-5 and ICD-11, and a critical approach to evolutionary personality psychology.
In addition, the book includes practical examples and exercises that encourage students to reflect on and apply theory. Accessibility has been improved in line with WCAG 2.0 guidelines. This study book aligns with themes such as ego, identity, and the self within psychology, making it a valuable resource for programs in which knowledge about human behavior is central.
