A novel approach to understanding personality, based on evidence that we share more than we realize with other mammals. This book presents the wealth of scientific evidence that our personality emerges from evolved primary emotions shared by all mammals. Yes, your dog feels love—and many other things too. These subcortically generated emotions bias our actions, alter our perceptions, guide our learning, provide the basis for our thoughts and memories, and become regulated over the course of our lives. Understanding personality development from the perspective of mammals is a groundbreaking approach, and one that sheds new light on the ways in which we as humans respond to life events, both good and bad. Jaak Panksepp, famous for discovering laughter in rats and for creating the field of affective neuroscience, died in April 2017. This book forms part of his lasting legacy and impact on a wide range of scientific and humanistic disciplines. It will be essential reading for anyone trying to understand how we act in the world, and the world’s impact on us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differences between people are a fascinating and long-standing area of psychological inquiry. However, previous research has largely been confined to studies at the descriptive level. This book tries to explain individual difference, rather than merely describe them. Explanations are derived from two major competing frameworks: the biological and social approaches to individuality. The book is based on the contributions of specialists from Europe and North America invited to represent the biological and social points of view. Thus, a direct confrontation is obtained of two approaches that, hitherto, have proceeded with virtually no reference to each other. Attention is paid to behavior genetics, psychophysiology and temperament, as well as to social learning, behavioral strategies and person-environment interactions. Differences and commonalities between the biological and social approaches are scrutinized and a common framework is outlined to stimulate future research. Due to its innovative character, the book is particularly relevant for investigators in the field. In addition, it may be fruitfully used in advanced graduate level courses in personality psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Myerson's psychological work "The Foundations of Personality" explores the variables affecting a person's personality development. The renowned American psychiatrist Myerson examines how environment and genes interact to shape a person's character in a 1922 publication. According to Myerson, a person's personality is mostly shaped by their upbringing and inherited characteristics during the formative years of life. He highlights how important it is to comprehend these influences in order to better understand and treat a range of psychiatric problems. The effects of social environment, cultural influences, and family dynamics on personality development are only a few of the subjects covered in the book. Myerson also covers the significance of understanding how heredity plays a part in each individual's particular blend of nature and nurture. In general, "The Foundations of Personality" adds to our knowledge of psychological development in the early 20th century by illuminating the intricate interactions between hereditary and environmental elements that shape human personality.

In whatsoever relationship we deal with our fellows, we base our intercourse largely on our understanding of their characters. The trader asks concerning his customer, "Is he honest?" and the teacher asks about the pupil, "Is he earnest?" The friend bases his friendship on his good opinion of his friend; the foe seeks to know the weak points in the hated one's make-up; and the maiden yearning for her lover whispers to, herself,
