Maruszewski (Polish Academy of Sciences and Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Poland) et al. present nine chapters by European psychologists, neuropsychologists, philosophers,
and cognitive studies scholars who gave papers at the first Biennial Symposium on Personality and Social Psychology organized by the Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities. The
contributors look at personality in terms of behavior patterns, psychological processes, and within an integrated framework. They address biological contributions to personality; information
and external conditions like aging and central auditory processing; and such social aspects as the environmental and genetic determinants of sociopolitical attitudes and the cognitive nature of
prejudiced individuals. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
