Taylor and Francis Handbook of Personality Development

The latter part of the book focuses on personality development over the lifespan, from infancy to older adulthood. The authors address personality variables, such as emotion regulation, temperament, and self-concept across the lifespan. The book concludes with a compelling capstone chapter by Dan McAdams on how personality develops. "The Handbook of Personality Development" provides an historical account of, and summary of, the most significant and important findings in the area, along with suggestions for future research. Intended for researchers and advanced students in personality, developmental, social, clinical, and educational psychology, as well as related fields, such as family studies, sociology, education, nursing, behavioural genetics, neuropsychology, and psychophysiology, the handbook also serves as a valuable resource in advanced courses that address personality development.
