Volume 4 of this innovative series on social and personality psychology showcases the rapid advances being made in the science of cognitive and behavioural control, seen in their experimental (e.g. brain studies) and everyday (e.g. emotion regulation) varieties. Reflecting the nature of this topic, the book is divided into two parts. The first part, "Basic Models of Control," explores fundamental brain-behavioural mechanisms and extends these to consider the alluring but still mysterious nature of consciousness. Part II, "Complex Models of Control," discusses adaptive (e.g. musical performance) and maladaptive (anxiety and depression) aspects of self-regulation.
'This timely, wonderful, and thought-provoking work tackles the interface between two of the grandest problems of human nature-namely, control and personality. Understanding how individual mental systems differ adds a vital dimension to psychology of control. This book will challenge and inform anyone wishing to appreciate how human beings function and how they differ.' (Roy F. Baumeister, Francis Eppes Professor of Psychology, Florida State University)
