PERSONALITY & SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Pathways to Individuality
The Psychology of Meaning
Edited by Keith D. Markman, Travis Proulx,
NEW!
and Matthew J. Lindberg
From moral philosophy and existentialism to the
clinical realm of psychotherapy, The Psychology of
Meaning explores the multifaceted nature of this
highly subjective construct .
Contributors to this groundbreaking edited volume examine not only the many phenomenological
aspects of meaning, but also the clinical aspects of
people’s reactions to the loss of meaning, to uncertainty, and to meaning violations—when things that were once central to one’s life no longer
make much sense . Divided into five parts, the book’s final section contains
chapters on how neurocognitive mechanisms compensate for meaning
violations . The book’s concluding chapter addresses how psychotherapy can
help restore meaning in the face of persistent meaning violations .
The Psychology of Meaning is an ideal course adoption for students at
all levels in introductory or applied social psychology courses, and also for
clinicians specializing in existential-humanistic psychotherapy .

Meaning, Mortality, and Choice
The Social Psychology of Existential Concerns
Edited by Phillip R. Shaver and Mario Mikulincer
A fundamental aspect of being human is knowing
that one day we will die . Efforts to contend with this
knowledge are at the root of a great many social behaviors across a variety of domains, and include efforts to
transcend the human body, aggression against enemies
and the need for scapegoats, even extreme reactions such as terrorism and
suicide, as well as the development of symbolic language and the creation
of art and music . In this thought-provoking addition to the Herzliya Series
on Personality and Social Psychology, a group of international theorists and
clinicians investigates a variety of existential concerns .

Evolution and Development
of Personality Traits
Arnold H. Buss
In Pathways to Individuality, veteran researcher and
scholar Arnold Buss examines the personality traits
we share with other animals—and those that set us
apart from other animals, the social traits that make
us distinctly human . Drawing from his own published research over a
half-century of teaching and writing on personality, Buss masterfully
summarizes key theories and recent advances in the study of temperament
(aggression, dominance, etc .), the self (self-conscious shyness, self-esteem,
identity), and abnormal behavior and style as crucial dimensions in
understanding personality and individual differences .
