This proven text fuses the best of theory-based and research-based instruction to give you a powerful introduction to personality that is accessible and understandable. Burger pairs "theory, applications, and assessment" chapters with chapters that describe the research programs aligned with every major theoretical approach. Biographical sketches of theorists and accounts of the stories behind influential research programs help you gain an understanding of how classic and contemporary findings relate to each other, and reinforce the idea that theory and research perpetuate one another. In-text self-assessments and a Study Guide (available separately) allow you to stop, consider what you're reading, and interact with the material

Personality 8th Edition Jerry M Burger Books

I purchased this book as a required for the masters level class I'm taking on Personality Theory. I found this book to be an easy read, very simply explanations of the various personality theories. His chapters are laid out the same in each one---background on the theorist, definitions, application examples, pros/cons, and a chapter summary. The only think I found odd was the pictures shown throughout the book were dated, from the 1970s and early 1980s. It was weird seeing a women from the 1980s beating on a soda machine in the chapter discussion aggression and frustration for example. And the women with anxiety sitting in the dentist chair you knew was old too (no gloves on the dentist, etc). Couldn't figure out why the pics were so retro. That doesn't detract from the book content however. It's great an an introductory course for the subject. I would recommend it.

Personality 8th Edition Jerry M Burger Books Reviews


Perfect for school! Thanks!
I would have preferred more detail, this is an overview of personality and doesn't offer much depth. I like a lot more meat to my text book, this one didn't carry it.
Was worried because this book was so cheap but it came in near mint condition. Could barely tell anyone had even opened it!
love the book, easy to read great examples. The teacher did not go in order of the text so I don't know if that made a difference. it was a really interested book. received the book fast and the returning it was already added to the cost and was easy to send out. the book was in great conditions.
Great book, it was very good for the course. And trust me it was not an easy course with the prof. I had. I got an A on it but only because it was the only course I was taken. Most people got F. So if you EAT THIS BOOK like I did you will find, that it will not betrayed you.
Despite the atrocious cover art, (seriously what is that supposed to be?), this book is very informative and well written. All the major theories are covered in detail along with supporting research. For anyone interested in learning more about personality and the different theories of personality, this is a good place to start.
The book came crushed. Then, I start reading it. There are so many grammar issues I cannot comprehend it. The book is so disorganized it is not funny. For instance, chapter 7 talks about the Big Five, then a new topic not related to the Big Five, and then a few pages later goes back to the Big Five. It is so confusing writing my notes and writing my papers. Luckily, I am getting an A in this class.
