Features: Human psychology is divided into two aspects: psychological processes and personality. Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies human personality, primarily focusing on personality tendencies and psychological characteristics such as temperament, character, and ability. However, due to the complexity of personality, its psychological research is quite insufficient in both depth and breadth, and a unified scientific system has yet to be formed. This book is divided into 5 parts and 18 chapters, arranged in terms of its system and framework following the views of most psychologists in China. It comprehensively discusses the theories, research methods, and personality measurement tools of personality psychology, demonstrating the importance of personality research in both fundamental theoretical and applied research in psychology, and reflecting the urgency for breakthroughs in personality psychology research.
