In its study of individual differences, this book aims to identify dimensions that are applicable to everyone, but that discriminate among people.;The Longman Essential Psychology series provides comprehensive and concise coverage of all the major topics studied in undergraduate psychology courses throughout the UK, Europe and the USA. Each volume deals with a core module and is written by an international list of contributors who are all actively involved in research.
