Personality and Individual Differences: Current Directions

Interest and research in personality and individual differences, in why people behave the way they do and the implications for life and living, remains unabated around the world. The studies presented in this book range from examining the effects of the stars — the seasons and dates of birth — and the clinical and professional drivers of research that enable our understanding of traits, emotions, moral processes and bio-social responses to drugs and alcohol, and how they are related to efforts to make a difference for the well-being and survival of our world, whether as individuals or as the human race.
