Good Personality Science Textbooks?

Posted by:  Paul Silvia Title/Position:  Associate Professor School/Organization:  University of North Carolina at Greensboro Sent to listserv of:  SPSP, SESP, SPSSI Date posted:  January 29th, 2013

Greetings, all: In the fullness of human events I've been slated to teach low-level undergraduate "Personality" next semester, and I'm looking for textbook recommendations. I'd love a book that exclusively talks about what personality scientists have published in peer-reviewed journals devoted to the science of personality. This seems to exclude 97% of personality textbooks, which are great for learning about the non-peer-reviewed musings of Europeans born in the 1800s. I love that stuff, but I'm looking for modern over historical. Any recommendations? :) Paul Paul Silvia Associate Professor of Psychology P.O.
