A new section on limited domain theories includes case studies that demonstrate learned helplessness and learned optimism, coronary prone (Type A and Type B) behavior, and social anxiety. Accompanying these cases are associated application and theory comparison questions that allow students to learn the concepts as well as see the similarities and differences between these more specific ideas and general concepts in major theories.
The workbook includes a wide range of personality theorists commonly covered in the course, making its coverage expansive, in-depth, and complementary to any personality textbook.
Critical-thinking questions and relevant exercises (i.e., Application Questions and Theory Comparison Questions) enable students to understand and apply each theory to real-world examples, and ensure that students have a solid understanding of the differences between theories. "Helpful Hints" offer guidance for students having trouble answering some of the application questions.
The text is an ideal resource for instructors who use the traditional theory-by-theory organization as well as for those who want to help students who are struggling to understand and distinguish the theories from each other.
