Personality is now understood to be a function of both biological and environmental influences. This revised and updated edition of Psychobiology of Personality describes what is currently known about the biological basis of the primary personality traits, including genetic, neurological, biochemical, physiological, and behavioral influences. Emphasis is placed on understanding the connections between phenomena at these levels. The research discussed makes use of animal models, based on experimental brain research, as well as human clinical and normal personality research. Chapters are devoted to temperament and personality trait structure, psychobiological methods, and each of four major personality traits: extraversion, impulsive, sensation seeking, and aggression. Recent advances in psychobiological methods, such as molecular genetics and brain imaging have enabled us to begin to unravel the genetic and neurological sources of behavior and personality. These advances are discussed in this new edition, making it essential reading for advanced students of psychology and psychiatry.

"My life in psychology since the mid-20th century has seen many dominant and emerging paradigms, from the strict behaviorism of B.F. Skinner to the flourishing of the cognitive and psychobiological paradigms in the latter part of the century and into the present. Age does not necessarily bring wisdom, but it does bring a broader perspective over time. I have always been interested in the assessment and sources of personality and individual differences. In my early career, like most clinical psychologists, I believed that the dynamic forces within the family shaped personality and psychopathology, and that genetics and biological factors had little role. However, the results from my own research and that of others on the trait I named sensation seeking turned me toward a psychobiological approach"--Preface.
