Description

Explore the complex nature of personality through a rigorous academic lens. The Cognitive Foundations of Personality Traits addresses one of the most debated topics in psychology: the trait concept. While psychologists and laypersons frequently use adjective-based names to describe individuals, much remains unknown regarding how these traits develop over time and the dynamics that drive them. This work examines the hundred-plus well-defined personality traits and the various assessment questionnaires used to measure them. By looking at the lack of knowledge surrounding ontogenetic development and underlying dynamics, this book provides a necessary perspective for those studying human behavior. It even explores how psychoanalytic theory has been used to explain the psychodynamics of specific traits. Designed for readers interested in the intersection of emotions, personality, and psychotherapy, this text offers a deep dive into the mechanics of how we characterize the people around us. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the gaps in current personality assessment and the theoretical frameworks used to study human character.
