International Handbook of Personality and Intelligence

Abstract

There is a need to summarize current findings and further examine potential areas of the personality-intelligence interface. This handbook is an attempt to address these purposes and is further guided by several considerations. Part I focuses on basic and theoretical issues. These chapters present historical and contemporary paradigms and critically assess ideological, genetic, longitudinal, social, and cultural factors underlying the study of personality and intelligence. The chapters in Part II reflect personality and intelligence "at the crossroads." Included here are contributions that present contemporary and evolving theoretical views on thinking, creativity, learning, literacy, social behavior, exceptional children, and adult psychopathology. Part III explores empirical links between personality and intelligence variables and includes chapters ranging from psychometrically described traits to more basic processes such as attention, reaction time, and event-related potentials. Part IV discusses measurement issues that are critical in linking personality and intelligence. . . . Part V describes applications of personality and intelligence in applied settings and specific contexts. The handbook should be of interest to all psychologists and professionals in the behavioral and health sciences who have a serious interest in the study of either or both personality and intelligence.
