This book is a cumulation of a research program that began in the sum mer of 1978, when I was a doctoral student at the University of Missouri. What started as a graduate student' s curiosity about individual differ ences in need for personal control led to a personality scale, a few pub lications, some additional questions, and additional research. For reasons I no longer recall, I named this personality trait desire for control. One study led to another, and questions by students and colleagues often spurred me to apply desire for control to new areas and new questions. At the same time, researchers around the globe began using the scale and sending me reprints of articles and copies of papers describing work they had done on desire for contro!. In the past decade or so, I have talked or corresponded with dozens of students who have used the scale in their doctoral dissertation and master's thesis research. I have heard of or seen translations of the Desirability of Control Scale into German, Polish, Japanese, and French. There is also a children's version of the scale. I estirnate that there have now been more than a hundred studies conducted on desire for contro!.

Study Guide for Burger’s Personality

1986 HC with numerous internal markings and hi-liting. An excellent reference and resource on my ex-wife who fitted into several categories. The internal markings are from when she was depressed and the Hi-liting was from when she was manic. Her attorney agreed with me and suggested that she had had too much plastic surgery. I certainly didn't recognize her so how could I stay married to her? Psychology. lease ask if you have questions.

Personality: Theory and research

Wadsworth Pub. Co.

Acclaimed for its lucid and student-friendly style, this text integrates traditional personality theories with current research by personality psychologists. Each major approach to understanding personality is covered in a theories chapter, followed by a ''Relevant Research'' chapter. In contrast to other textbooks in which theory and research are treated as unrelated areas of psychology, this text carefully shows students how research and theory interrelate and complement one another.

No other book integrates traditional personality theories with current research as effectively as Jerry Burger's Personality Fourth Edition. For each school of thought (Freudian, neo-Freudian, trait, biological, humanistic, behavioral/social learning, and cognitive), a chapter on "Theory, Application, and Assessment" is followed by a chapter on "Relevant Research" to illustrate how research ties in with the theories covered.

No other book integrates traditional personality theories with current research as effectively as Jerry Burger's Personality, Fifth Edition. The text's organization provides a classic and contemporary approach to the study of personality by balancing the theory chapters with the research chapters. For each school of thought (Freudian, neo-Freudian, trait, biological, humanistic, behavioral/social learning, and cognitive), a chapter on "Theory, Application, and Assessment" is followed by a chapter on "Relevant Research" to clearly illustrate how research ties in with the theories covered.

Each chapter contains a chapter outline, a list of learning objectives, a list of important concepts, a fill-in-the-blank review questions, 20-25 multiple choice questions (with answers), evaluative questions, and integrative questions. There are one to two questions per chapter tied in to the use of InfoTrac College Edition.
