Volume 4 of this innovative series on social and personality psychology showcases the rapid advances being made in the science of cognitive and behavioral 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 in to two parts. The first part, “Basic Models of Control,” explores fundamental brain-behavioral 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. The book is intended for academic psychologists and advanced students who are studying the role of control mechanisms in personality processes.

"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 "...This book provides a concise and clear overview of the topic of control and personality psychology. The authors not only describe relevant theories and empirical studies, but discuss relevant methodological issues and limitations in the field. Personality and Control demonstrates the importance of control processes, which are at the core of scientific approaches in personality psychology and its applications to a plethora of psychological phenomena." --Kristi A. Chin, Personality and Individual Differences 96 (2016) 280
