Originally published in 1979, this title represents a summary of 17 years of research centring around the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and the theory from which the test was derived. Now an integral part of personality testing, including adaptations for use with children, this reissue is a chance to see where it all began.

(What makes a person vulnerable to psychopathology? Marvin...)
What makes a person vulnerable to psychopathology? Marvin Zuckerman believes that answer lies in the interactions among three key factors: biology/genetics, personality and stressful events. Using these factors as a framework, Zuckerman summarizes the most current research available on the anxiety, mood, antisocial personality, substance abuse, pathological gambling and schizophrenic disorders. Designed to be a comprehensive reference source, this book should be a welcome guide to teachers and graduate students who previously were obliged to consult multiple texts. In this single volume, readers will find information on the history, diagnosis, prevalence, prognosis, course, outcome, comorbidity and demographic characteristics of the mental disorders. And clinicians and theorists will appreciate the up-to-date treatment of genetics, biochemistry and neurophysiology. This scholarly, yet accessible volume should become an indispensable resource for those interested in learning about the course of psychopathology.

(Personality can be defined along a small number of well e...)
Personality can be defined along a small number of well established dimensions, each of which is partially determined by hereditary factors. Heredity acts on behavior through its influence on variations in the structure and function of neural and biochemical systems. This book explores the biological basis of individual differences in personality from genes to the structure, chemistry, and function of the brain and peripheral nervous system. In addition to basic dimensions of normal personality, the book examines the biology of several types of psychopathology. The concluding chapter provides a psychobiological model for personality. This thorough analysis of the pathway from gene to personality trait will be of interest not only to biologists, but also to psychologists and psychiatrists.

(The latest volume from respected scholar and researcher M...)
The latest volume from respected scholar and researcher Marvin Zuckerman is a masterful examination of three contemporary scientific approaches to the study of personalitythe psychodynamic, the trait-psychobiological, and the cognitive. The book also focuses on corresponding theoretical frameworks that continue to guide much of the research on personality disordersAttachment and Separation, the psychobiological paradigm, and cognitive frameworks. Most books on personality theories devote little attention to the applied, clinical realm. Yet Personality Science engages the reader in a discussion of applied personality theories on psychopathology and the crucial contemporary research they have generated: prospective studies from childhood to adulthood, and concurrent studies of the biological correlates of major personality traits. In the concluding chapters of this work, Professor Zuckerman applies the three approaches to the psychopathology of depressionspecifically, to Major Depressive Disorder and dysthymiasurveying the theories and research on the etiology of depression, and exploring clinical applications of the three personality approaches (i.e., psychodynamic and cognitive therapy, and psychopharmacological therapy) to the treatment of the disorder.

(Risky behavior can be an expression of a normal, genetica...)
Risky behavior can be an expression of a normal, genetically influenced personality trait, sensation seeking. Its expression in risky behaviors such as extreme and risky sports, vocations, substance abuse, unsafe sex, and crime, among others, is the topic of this fascinating and accessible book. In ""Sensation Seeking and Risky Behavior"", Marvin Zuckerman offers a comprehensive view of the role of sensation seeking in a wide range of behaviors, from risky driving and sports through substance use, sex, and crime or other antisocial behaviors. How the personality trait sensation seeking relates to these risky behaviors is described and explained in terms of genetics, biology, attitudes, and expectancies. Insights into prevention and treatment of maladaptive forms of sensation seeking, like substance abuse and unsaf sexual activity, based on the published research, are offered.
