Preface

In a sense, we are all personality psychologists. We are making an inference about the
genetics of personality when we say, “She has her father’s personality.” We are judging
child-rearing practices when we note, “They’re good parents.” We are noticing the stabil-
ity of personality when we complain that, “He has always been stubborn.”
Personality is intended for an undergraduate audience at two- and four-year colleges
and universities. An extensive background in psychology is not a prerequisite for the use
of the book. We have tried to produce a text written for students at the college level. We
have tried to respect most students’ ability and have not written down to them.
More so than most topics in psychology, personality psychology textbooks can be de-
scribed in terms of style, rather than content. Some focus on grand theories, others focus
on recent research. This textbook includes some of both perspectives. Most chapters in
the second half of the book address topics from the perspective of the theories laid out in
the first half. This approach provides an integrative framework for understanding these
issues. It is likely that some approaches will work better or be more intuitive than others.
However, it is useful to take the time to understand the approaches that aren’t so intuitive
in that context. It is also a good exercise to critically evaluate those approaches.
Often the problem with the grand theories is that they tend to not be parsimonious and
fail with regard to empirical validity. The grand theories tend to be older and the style is
quite different from the more recent, and often smaller, theories. The grand theories do
contribute heuristic value; that is, they give the reader a way to think about how and why
people behave as they do. The psychoanalytic approach is referred to often in the book,
and has some serious problems, but there is no doubt that was a crucial theory for devel-
oping psychotherapy.
The new research approach tends to be smaller in aims, and more grounded in empir-
ical validity. A textbook that focuses on new research, however, tends to neglect some of
the classic but very important and useful theory and research. Learning theory approaches
to personality have great explanatory power and are very useful for behavior change. The
conflict models and frustration-aggression models are both parsimonious and empirically
supported. But the reference dates sure do look old. Remember that old research, well
conducted, is still good research.
This edition has updates to every chapter, but the basic format has been maintained
from previous editions. Given the comprehensive coverage of the book, it is likely the
instructor may want to choose which chapters to assign. As a student, you are certainly
welcome to read the unassigned chapters.
This book offers a range of features and tools to help students develop and test their
understanding of core concepts and topics.
An accessible and relevant text that offers a unique narrative—A natural and relaxed
„„
writing style promotes a sense of a conversation between the authors and student.

Introduction

Definition of Personality
The field of personality is enormously complex and diverse. As a student
taking this class, you may be interested in questions such as What is my
personality—what are my fundamental characteristics? How changeable is my
personality? How did I acquire my personality? How is my personality orga-
nized? What factors determine my behavior—my motives, my self, my traits,
my thoughts, my emotions? How do all those factors interact and interrelate?
How can I understand others’ personality? Are all aspects of my personality
conscious, or are some parts determined by unconscious forces—how well
can I know myself? What role do my emotions play in my personality and my
behavior? Why are some people more able than others to handle stress and
conflict? Are humans basically aggressive or basically loving?

xxi

03/15/2020 - tp-27044ee4-66fe-11ea-9b5c-024 (temp temp) - Personality


The field of personality addresses the most basic questions of what it means to be a
functioning human being. Because many writers and theorists have taken different ap-
proaches and emphasized different aspects, it is difficult to define personality in a way
that will satisfy everyone. For the person on the street, personality most fundamentally
refers to what is distinctive about an individual. People describe themselves and their
friends in terms of what is distinctive about them: he is shy, quiet, and sensitive; she is
outgoing, friendly, and open to different experiences. In addition, people often use the
term personality to refer to someone who is not only distinctive but interesting in a pos-
itive way. Thus, they might say that someone “has a lot of personality,” meaning that the
person stands out in charm, colorfulness, or interesting characteristics. When people say
that someone has “no personality,” they mean that there is little about the person that is
distinctive, interesting, or colorful.
For some psychologists, personality is largely defined in terms of the enduring charac-
teristics that differ from person to person, that is, in terms of individual differences. Thus,
for many, personality is typically equated with personality traits. However, personality
can also be considered to include one’s motives, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and values.
Further, one’s personality may depend on how all these things are organized.
In this text, we adopt a broader view of personality than simply the focus on individual
differences. For us, the field of personality consists of the study of all the issues and topics
we have mentioned, and how they interrelate. In essence, it deals with the study of all the
factors that play a role in how an individual’s overall functioning is organized.
The study of personality intersects with other aspects of psychology. Just as how we
perceive and learn is relevant to our overall functioning, so is our genetic endowment. Our
overall functioning is also influenced by social and cultural variables. What distinguishes
the study of personality from the study of social and cultural psychology is that we focus
on how those many variables influence the functioning of the individual. How our person-
alities develop is also a topic of relevance, and, therefore, the field of personality inter-
sects with that of developmental psychology. Finally, how personality functioning can go
awry is an important part of personality. Therefore, the field of personality overlaps with
the fields of abnormal and clinical psychology as well.
In sum, for us, personality refers to (1) the relatively enduring behavior patterns that
distinguish individuals from one another, (2) the overall organization and structure of in-
dividuals’ behavior patterns, and (3) the patterns of interactions between this organization
and both external factors—such as cultural, environmental, and social variables—and
internal factors—such as motivations, emotions, and thoughts.

The Field of Personality and the Structure


of This Textbook
Because of its great complexity and diversity, the field of personality presents a great chal-
lenge to both the student and the psychologist. Many individuals associate this field of study
with grand theorists, such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, who postulated comprehensive
schemes that attempted to explain phenomena as far ranging as war, neurosis, and dream
symbolism. But the formulation of a general theory of personality is just one aspect of a
vast mosaic. Other personality psychologists focus on less ambitious, and more attainable,
goals. A number of personality psychologists have been concerned with the structure of
personality—identifying basic traits, such as introversion or the need for achievement, and
ascertaining how they can be best assessed. Others have examined how these characteris-
tics come into existence—that is, the genetic and experiential determinants of personality
development. Still other personality psychologists are interested in personality dynamics,
or how personality structures interact with the environment to generate behavior. Issues
such as stress, conflict, and frustration are part of the study of the dynamics of personality.
The four main divisions in the study of personality—theory, structure, development,
and dynamics—are not completely separate. For example, Freud’s general theory includes
a discussion of personality structure (such as the “anal” character), how such a trait might

develop (conflict with parents during the period of toilet training), and its effects on later
behavior (the tendency to hoard money or to be compulsively clean). Nevertheless, the
four major areas within personality do have somewhat separate histories and did not
develop simultaneously. They therefore provide the organizing framework for this book.
In the ensuing chapters we examine contemporary theoretical and empirical efforts
that address the viability of a general theory of personality; traits, their measurement, and
development; and the manner in which these traits influence an individual’s actions in
particular environments.
We are sympathetic to many theoretical positions and types of empirical investigations
because of the enormous complexity of the problems with which they attempt to deal.
Thus, our discussion of personality research and theories will be from the perspective
of psychologists who are not limited to one particular theory but draw upon a number of
them. In our framework, the individual both acts and reacts, has unique aspirations and
fantasies, and is conscious of the future as well as the past and the present. We will con-
sider personal behavior within a broad social-cultural context, for one must be sensitive to
the powerful effects that the values of the culture, the family, and the larger society exert
on behavior. Individuals are social beings, functioning in particular cultural settings. At
the same time, one must have some appreciation of the role of genetics and evolution in
human behavior. We are also biological creatures shaped by evolution.
Psychology cannot yet provide the answers to many of the difficult questions regarding
personality. The relatively objective and systematic study of personality is still in its in-
fancy, less than seven decades old. Our scientific tools are still quite limited. We have no
magical procedures that will reveal the inner depths of our minds. For ethical reasons, we
cannot and should not freely experiment with infants, raising them under carefully con-
trolled, laboratory conditions. We do not have the power to alter culture, socioeconomic
structures, and other significant features of the human environment that play an important
role in personality. Nor do we have the power to alter the human body. For these reasons,
we cannot reach the precision of measurement and experimental control in the study of
human behavior that characterizes research in physics and chemistry.
Nevertheless, much can be learned by examining personality from an empirical, sci-
entific perspective. At the very least, adoption of a scientific approach enables one to
think about personality issues in a more analytic, discriminating manner. There are a great
many, often conflicting, current assertions regarding personality. For example, “One’s
basic personality is formed in the first two years of life” versus “We are constantly chang-
ing and growing”; “Personality changes as the situation changes” versus “We are who we
are, regardless of context”; “Sex and aggression are the basic human drives” versus “The
basic human goal is self-actualization.” Research provides us with the data to discriminate
between valid and unfounded assertions, between assertions that have yet to be tested and
those that are probably not testable.
We also apply a scientific approach to the examination of theories of personality. Be-
cause personality theories typically attempt to account for different aspects of human
behavior, it is often difficult to call one “better” than another. But one must also be critical
when evaluating the relevant evidence and the logic of each theory. We are able to use
common scientific criteria to evaluate and compare theories. These criteria include the
breadth and comprehensiveness of the theory (how much of the data on personality is
explained); the testability of the theory; its degree of empirical support; and its heuristic
or generative value.

Chapter Topics
Our view of personality dictates the organization of this text. The two most basic as-
pects that influence the development and functioning of personality are biological and
genetic factors, and environmental and sociocultural factors. In Part 1, we consider these
two basic influences. In Part 2, we turn to a consideration of the three major groups of
theories that have influenced how we think about the functioning of the whole person:

psychodynamic theories, behavioral and social learning theories, and phenomenological
theories. In Part 3, we examine the basic structure of personality and consider the issue of
traits. We also consider the tests and procedures used to assess personality. In Part 4, we
consider developmental aspects of personality, including the development of the self and
identity. In Parts 5 and 6, we consider a variety of specific topics related to personality
functioning: the dynamics of conflict, emotion and stress, consciousness, perceived con-
trol and achievement motivation, and love and hate.
That various sections of the book overlap and are interrelated will be evident. For
example, in our discussion of personality development in Chapter 13, we must return to
issues raised in Chapter 1 regarding the roles of nature and nurture in shaping the person.
And in Chapter 14, which addresses conflict and frustration, we must return to issues
raised by the broader personality theorists, as examined in Chapters 3–6. Although we
must break the whole into parts to present details, we trust our approach will be clear to
our readers; that is, we do perceive the field of personality as an integrated whole.

A key question for personality psychologists is: “Are we what we are because of
nature or because of nurture?” When the question is phrased in this m ­ anner,
neither answer can be correct, for the answers are not mutually exclusive. The
premise of the question itself is wrong. We are what we are because of how
nature and nurture interact; it is not a question of either/or. There clearly are
both inborn and social-cultural influences on the individual. Genetics and
­environment—nature and nurture—regulate and guide each person.
In Chapter 1 we examine some of the innate determinants of personality
and behavior. We observe that, as products of a long evolutionary history, hu-
man beings are predisposed to certain patterns of behavior. In addition, spe-
cific genetic blueprints provide the foundation for personality and behavior.
But it is evident that individuals’ personalities are greatly influenced by the
contexts that surround them and by the experiences they have had. Individu-
als brought up in different cultures or social classes behave differently. If one
wants to predict what an individual is doing or thinking at a given time, some
of the best predictors are the point in history when the individual was born and
where he or she is living. In Chapter 2 we examine some of these social and
cultural influences as well as other kinds of environmental influences.
Culture not only influences individuals; it also influences psychological the-
ories themselves. There is increasing reason to believe that the “grand theories”
of Western psychology reflect certain biases about the nature of people that
characterize Western culture.
Chapters 1 and 2 do not attempt to give complete accounts of the genetics of
personality or the social determinants of action; full courses are devoted to these
topics. Rather, we introduce the context of the person: an individual with unique
predispositions who is nevertheless modifiable and shaped by surroundings.

Rev. Dr. Endicott Peabody of the Groton School wrote: “I must tell
you how deeply Mrs. Peabody and I sympathize with you in
Norman’s death. He gave his life in a great cause. That will be a
comfort to you both, and he met his death with the courage that is
characteristic of his family. Even with these considerations, I realize
that your hearts must be heavy. It will please you to know that one of
Norman’s classmates at Groton, who had followed his career in
France with keen interest, has sent a contribution toward a memorial
that he desires established at the school.”
Speaking for the Harvard Class of 1909 of which Norman was a
member, its Secretary, Francis A. Harding, said: “On behalf of the
Harvard Class of 1909, I wish to express the very deep regret which
every Harvard man, and especially every classmate of Norman’s,
has felt after reading the announcement of his death in France. To
those of us who knew Norman intimately, the news of his death
comes as a distinct shock, and every member of our class feels
proud to have known and to have been affiliated with one who had
the courage to give in such a noble way everything he possessed to
the great cause in which he believed.”
From South Carolina Senator Tillman wrote: “Your son gave his
young life in defense of what all of us know is a sacred cause. He
was a twentieth century Lafayette, a modern knight errant whose
statue will yet grace the capital of France. Prince? Yes, a Prince
indeed—‘sans peur et sans reproche.’”
Many other thoughtful and tender messages came from others,
friends and strangers, at home and abroad, testifying their
commingled sorrow and admiration. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
telegraphed from Washington this tribute:

“Nothing could have been more gallant than his life—


nothing finer than his death in a great cause, dear to his
heart.”

An eloquent and fitting epitaph!

TO NORMAN PRINCE
From a Boston Boy, in France, American Ambulance Field Service,
October 20, 1916.

Gone is the honored boy bird


He’ll fly no more for France,
His spirit though,—a silent word
That over all the Earth is heard,—
Commands her friends Advance!

His courage and devotion tried


Must all the world convince
He was, as all of us decide,
And France, for love of whom he died,
In name and deed—a Prince.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500


West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
