Reviews

[Alok Mishra]

A very useful book for those who are into research in the field of personality. However, if you have no idea about it and you are looking for philosophical viewpoints, this is not the right book. It is a textbook basically for those who have the idea of the subject matter and would like to take their knowledge and width of understanding to the next level. The updated edition is more useful.

This is a custom book for Capella I presume. The one I will be using is HS5214: Theories of Personality (which is also the class I am enrolled in)

Pervin, L. A., Cervone, D., & John, O. P. (2005). HS5214: Theories of personality [Custom]. New York: Wiley.

[Alexander Tarlinder]

This textbook is a mouthful. It's just page after page of text in fine print. It looks intimidating, but is quite well written. As a student, you get just about enough on the subject of personality theories. Also, there's enough references to contemporary research.
A bad thing about this book is that it takes a few chapters to get into its structure. For me it did, at least. Once you grasp it, you understand the authors' grand plan, but before that you may wonder why the book is structured the way it is.

[Dimitra]

Σαν περιεχόμενο είναι καλό αλλά πραγματικά η δομή του άθλια. Δεν έχει συνοχή, οι ορισμοί στα κεφάλαια είναι με αλφαβητική σειρά αντί με σειρά εμφάνισης ώστε να έχει όντως ρόλο ανακεφαλαίωσης. Η σύνοψη κάθε κεφαλαίου δεν βοηθάει καθόλου. Οι υποενότητες δεν έχουν συνοχή πετάγεται από τον έναν στον άλλον και στο τέλος δεν ξέρουμε ποιος είπε τι. Κρίμα γιατί είναι από τα ελάχιστα στο είδος του.

Detailed, detailed, detailed textbook. : )

[Wendy Zhou]

One of the most interesting books I’ve read about the human mind and behavior. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in personal development and understanding of the self and others.

*Review Singkat — Personality: Theory and Research*
*Lawrence A. Pervin & Oliver P. John — Eighth Edition*

Buku ini merupakan textbook akademik tentang psikologi kepribadian, bukan buku populer mengenai tipe-tipe kepribadian. Pertanyaan utamanya cukup mendasar: mengapa seseorang menjadi dirinya sendiri, dan mengapa perilakunya relatif konsisten tetapi tetap dapat berubah?

Pervin dan John tidak memberikan satu teori sebagai jawaban final. Mereka memperkenalkan berbagai perspektif besar seperti psikodinamik/Freud, trait, biologis, behavioral dan social-learning, kognitif, serta humanistik. Setiap pendekatan melihat manusia melalui lensa berbeda.

Kekuatan buku ini terdapat pada kata “Research” dalam judulnya. Teori tidak sekadar diceritakan, tetapi dikaitkan dengan penelitian empiris. Pembaca diajak bertanya bukan hanya “Apakah teori ini masuk akal?”, melainkan juga “Apa bukti yang mendukungnya?”

Hal paling menarik adalah kesadaran bahwa tidak ada satu teori yang sepenuhnya mampu menjelaskan manusia. Peristiwa yang sama dapat dijelaskan berbeda: pendekatan trait melihat karakteristik yang relatif stabil; social-cognitive melihat self-efficacy, pengalaman dan lingkungan; psikodinamik melihat motif dan konflik yang tidak disadari; sedangkan humanistik melihat konsep diri dan tujuan hidup.

Karena itu, buku ini juga bersentuhan dengan filsafat manusia: apakah manusia terutama dibentuk oleh biologi, masa lalu, lingkungan, dan struktur kepribadiannya, atau masih memiliki kebebasan untuk membentuk dirinya sendiri?
Kelebihannya adalah sistematis, kaya teori, berbasis penelitian, dan tidak terpaku pada satu mazhab. Keterbatasannya, karena merupakan edisi lama, perkembangan terbaru psikologi kepribadian belum tercakup sehingga sebaiknya dilengkapi dengan literatur yang lebih mutakhir.

Cara paling menarik membaca buku ini bukan sekadar mengejar halaman, tetapi menggunakan satu pertanyaan sebagai benang merah:
“Seberapa jauh manusia dibentuk oleh kekuatan di luar kesadarannya, dan seberapa jauh manusia dapat membentuk dirinya sendiri?”

Dengan cara itu, Personality: Theory and Research bukan hanya textbook psikologi, tetapi juga bacaan menarik untuk memahami apa yang membuat seseorang menjadi dirinya sendiri.

Εξαιρετικό βιβλίο για την εισαγωγή στα θέματα που σχετίζονται με την κατανόηση της προσωπικότητας στην Ψυχολογία. Έχει ξεκάθαρη δομή και παρουσίαζει με άρτιο τρόπο τα βασικά ευρήματα γύρω απ'το συγκεκριμένο θέμα. Οι συγγραφείς έδωσαν ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στο να καλλιεργήσουν έναν κριτικό και ολιστικό τρόπο θεώρησης των συγκεκριμένων θεωριών καθώς και των ερωτημάτων που άπτονται αυτών.

A solid introduction to the subject of Personality Psychology. I liked the book's structure and how it presents and summarizes the basic findings and research on the topic. I appreciate that the writers really tried to pass on a critical and holistic way of thinking about these theories and the questions related to them.

[Martyna]

Mój podręcznik do psychologii osobowości- ciężko się czyta, ale z pewnością jest bardzo wartościowa.

special book

[Natalie]

Because if I had to read this cover to cover for class (and thus didn’t read any fun books) I deserve to count it on Goodreads.

Honestly, this wasn’t the worst textbook. I feel like I learned a lot from the class about different theories and research.

Read for : SS5757 Personality Theories and Assessment

It's one of the widely used textbooks of this field* but both the strength and weakness of Pervin is that the author would like to focus on a smaller set of theories/approaches with more coverage on modern research literature. If you have done an introductory course on psychology, few theories are new here and the presentation is ...just a standard textbook. But the addition of a hypothetical case study,Jim, and how his personality can be assessed and interpreted with different tests and perspectives are of substantial assistance to all students.

Just remember to go to the student companion site for their online quizzes.

If you prefer to read more theorists, try Feist. If you prefer to know more application, try Burger.

*The 3rd, from The Open Syllabus Project. More like the 2nd as the 1st is not exactly a textbook(Maslow's work). The other is Funder, probably one of the more engaging textbooks.

[Jamie-Lyne]

Read this for one of my classes this semester. I actually like it, I recommend to anybody who wants to read more about personnality theories, it explains multiples theories regarding human personalities.

[Felicity]

I found it engaging as a textbook and the associated quiz on the website helps to cement the learning.

[aikaterine]

Read for the course about Personality theories!

[Nicole]

As far as text books go, this is good. A little wordy sometimes-using the same phrases repeatedly. Otherwise, very good.

[Kevin]

Very dry textbook. Several pages are just blocks of text with no diagrams or images to make for a more pleasing aesthetic.

[Morgan Blackledge]

Solid undergraduate level textbook on personality theory.

[Umar Farooq]

good

[Ally Schaan]

Not as good as the book i read in undergrad (can't remember the title or author) but alright.

[Terra]

Pretty good as far as textbooks are concerned. Didn't hate it but it wasn't amazing. A solid three stars.

[Christina Kiniakou]

i want to read it,because i want for my master
