Handbook of Personality and Self–Regulation

“Rick H. Hoyle has used the study of self–regulation to draw together exciting findings from the usually disparate areas of information processing, temperament/personality, developmental, and social psychology. Psychologists from these areas will add breadth and integration to their models of self–regulation, and clinical psychologists will greatly benefit from reading this book” Mary K. Rothbart, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emerita, University of Oregon “Failure to self–regulate is associated with personal and societal costs (e.g., obesity, alcohol consumption, excessive lending or borrowing, and high–risk investments). Zeal in self–regulating can also be maladaptive, as it is associated with inhibition of emotional expression and authentic behavior. Twenty one chapters from front–line experts offer thoughtful analyses of temperamental and personality substrates of self–regulation along with their interplay with social behavior. This book promises to be an indispensable resource for researchers and practitioners, as well as both graduate and advanced undergraduate students.” Constantine Sedikides, University of Southampton
