Summary:

Research into temperament has grown from a minor niche within personality research into a cross-disciplinary focus on individual differences. Psychologists Zentner (U. of York, UK) and Shiner (Colgate U., Hamilton, NY) trace developments that have led to this new approach. International contributors discuss advances in the field; the basis of positive and negative emotionality; measures of temperament; developmental, social and cultural contexts; and applications in clinical and classroom settings. The handbook concludes with a synthesis of the text's major themes, findings, and challenges, and a look ahead to further research on the links between epigenetics and temperament, between early and adult temperament, and prevention and new intervention options.
