About this title

Synopsis

This second edition of The Construction of Personality has been substantially revised and updated. Sarah Hapson provides an introduction to current theory and research in the psychology of personality and examines this work from the perspective of constructivism. As a consequence of this constructivist approach, the book covers topics from social psychology (eg person perception, impression formation) as well as more conventional areas of personality.In this new edition the constructivist perspective is emphasized by the addition of a new chapter in which the constructivist approach to personality is presented, and the chapters on the lay and self perspectives have been extensively re-written. All the other chapters have been revised to include recent material.
