Theories of Mood and Cognition: A User's Guidebook
by Leonard L. Martin Gerald L. CloreApproaching the topic from a social psychological viewpoint, this book provides a forum for some currently active theorists to provide concise descriptions of their models in a way that addresses four of the most central issues in the field: How does affect influence memory, judgment, information processing, and creativity? Each presentation includes a concise description of the theory's underlying assumptions, an application of these assumptions to the four central issues, and some answers to questions posed by the other theorists. Thus, in one volume, the reader is presented with a single authoritative source for current theories of affect and information processing and is given a chance to "listen in" on a conversation among the theorists in the form of questions and answers related to each theory. Students and researchers alike will benefit from the clarity and brevity of this volume.

Theories of Personality: A Systems Approach (Psychology Library Editions: Personality)
by David LesterDesigned as a text for both graduate and undergraduate students, this book, originally published in 1995, presents an intrapsychic explanation of human behaviour – concepts based on psychological processes and ‘structures’ within the mind. In this context, a unique treatment of personality theory is introduced. It focuses on Freud, Kelly and Angyal: Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality based on desires, Kelly’s personal construct theory for thinking, and Angyal’s holistic concepts of personality. Each theory is given a detailed analysis in separate chapters. Freud’s psychoanalytic theory is cast as a theory of motivation, Kelly’s personal construct theory as a theory of cognition, and then it is noted that there is no comprehensive theory of personality based on emotion. Although Angyal’s holistic theory is rarely described in modern textbooks, Lester includes this because none of the other holistic theorists rival Angyal in their range of hypothetical constructs or descriptive terms. Then, in sections dealing with alternative viewpoints, the author shows how other personality theorists actually endorse and expand upon the ideas expressed by the aforementioned three, albeit with different terminology. Recognizing the diversity of holistic views in theories of personality, several counterpoint chapters are devoted to the holistic ideas. Lester separates these into three major areas: theorists who have focused on the split in the mind between the real and ideal self; recent theorists who explore the possibility that the mind is a ‘multiplicity of selves’; and theorists who, though not having their viewpoints sufficiently articulated in the literature, are still well established in the history of psychology. Other features include a presentation of the material in modern viewpoints, instead of the precise and perhaps outdated style as written by the individual theorists, and boxed highlights in each section, providing students with practical capsule information for easy reading.
Theories of Personality
by Lawrence Pervin Daniel Cervone John Oliver"Why should you take a course in personality? Why are some people so taken by the field that they decide to become personality psychologists? A basic attraction of the field is that it addresses the questions "Why are people the way they are? Why am I the way I am?" We are all fascinated by such questions, and personality psychology promises to answer them. Admittedly, this text and the scientific field it reviews may not definitively answer all of your questions. Yet much scientific progress has been made in understanding persons and the differences among them. This book will introduce you to some of the answers that contemporary scientific research can provide, while also introducing you to the best and most influential theoretical frameworks that have been developed for studying people." From Chapter 1

Theories of Personality
by Duane P. Schultz Sydney Ellen SchultzThis undergraduate text gives suppositions about the nature of personality arranged by theorist. After chapters on assessment and research and a survey of theory, the authors (both of the U. of South Florida) examine leading approaches of the last 100 years, including psychoanalysis (Freud), neopsychoanalysis (Jung, Adler, Horney, Fromm, Murray) life-span theorists (Erikson), trait theorists (Allport, Cattall, Eysenck, and others), humanistic theorists (Maslow and Rogers), the cognitive theorist Kelly, the behavioral theorist Skinner and social-learning theorist Bandura. The authors conclude with recent advances and research in limited domains and brief descriptions of genetics, environment and consciousness.

Theories of Personality (7th edition)
by Gregory J. Feist Jess FeistThis introductory undergraduate text on personality theory uses clear language and an informal writing style, without oversimplifying the theories' original meanings. Underlying the text is the premise that personality theories are a reflection of the unique cultural background, family experiences, personalities, and professional training of their originators. The book begins with definitions of personality and the nature of theory. Subsequent chapters present twenty-three major theories, with biographical sketches of each theorist, related research, and applications to real life. The usefulness of each theory is evaluated on its ability to generate research, integrate existing empirical knowledge, and suggest practical answers to everyday problems. The theories' contributions to other fields, such as art, psychotherapy, and religion, are also examined. Learning features include chapter overviews, key terms and concepts, and a glossary. B&w photos, some from popular culture, add interest. This updated seventh edition has been reorganized, and there is new material on the Big Five trait theory. Jess Feist is professor emeritus at McNeese State University. Gregory J. Feist teaches psychology at San Jose State University. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

Theories of Team Cognition: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives (Applied Psychology Series)
by Eduardo Salas Stephen M. Fiorea Michael P. LetskyCognitive processes in teams have been a valuable arena for team researchers to explore. Team cognition research advances and informs a variety of disciplines, including cognitive and social sciences, engineering, military science, organizational science, human factors, medicine, and communications. There has been a great deal of progress in the team cognition literature, yet the field is still in its early stages of maturity. There is much more to be gained from the field’s insights and there is a need to unite the diverse array of scholarly ideas that permeate the field. This movement will serve to organize the research and ideas that have surfaced in the field, thereby making them more accessible to different disciplines while at the same time, motivating continued progress in the field. This book aims to be a step in this direction and acts as a forum for leading scholars to share their ideas, theories, models, and conceptions about what matters and where more attention is needed in the field of team cognition.
theories of the Evolution of Knowing: the T.c. Schneirla Conferences Series, Volume 4 (T.C. Schneirla Conferences Series #Vol. 4)
by Gary Greenberg Ethel TobachThis volume presents current thought and criticism on evolutionary epistemology -- the evolution of knowledge and knowing. As the theme of the fourth T.C. Schneirla Conference held at Wichita State University, evolutionary epistemology was examined from several diverse areas of study including comparative, developmental, physiological, and cultural psychology as well as philosophy. Theories of the Evolution of Knowing addresses alternatives to the genetic determinism inherent in Donald Campbell's concept of genetic epistemology. The concept of integrative levels is shown to offer a parsimonious, non- reductionist approach to the development of "knowing" as a human capacity.
Theories of the Self and Autonomy in Medical Ethics (The International Library of Bioethics #83)
by Michael Kühler Veselin L. MitrovićThis book engages in a critical discussion on how to respect and promote patients’ autonomy in difficult cases such as palliative care and end-of-life decisions. These cases pose specific epistemic, normative, and practical problems, and the book elucidates the connection between the practical implications of the theoretical debate on respecting autonomy, on the one hand, and specific questions and challenges that arise in medical practice, on the other hand. Given that the idea of personal autonomy includes the notion of authenticity as one of its core components, the book explicitly includes discussions on underlying theories of the self. In doing so, it brings together original contributions and novel insights for “applied” scenarios based on interdisciplinary collaboration between German and Serbian scholars from philosophy, sociology, and law. It is of benefit to anyone cherishing autonomy in medical ethics and medical practice.

Theories, Predictions, and Diagnoses: Part Two from What the Dog Saw
by Malcolm GladwellWhat is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century? In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point; Blink; and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw, he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from The New Yorker over the same period. Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and "hindsight bias" and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate. "Good writing," Gladwell says in his preface, "does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head." What the Dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.
