Synopsis

Volume 4 of this innovative series on social and personality psychology showcases the rapid advances being made in the science of cognitive and behavioral control, seen in their experimental (e.g., brain studies) and everyday (e.g., emotion regulation) varieties. Reflecting the nature of this topic, the book is divided in to two parts. The first part, "Basic Models of Control," explores fundamental brain-behavioral mechanisms and extends these to consider the alluring but still mysterious nature of consciousness. Part II, "Complex Models of Control," discusses adaptive (e.g., musical performance) and maladaptive (anxiety and depression) aspects of self-regulation. The book is intended for academic psychologists and advanced students who are studying the role of control mechanisms in personality processes.
