Temperament, Character, and Personality Biobehavioral Concepts in Science, Art, and Social Psychology

A neurophysiologist and an art critic and theater director team up to present a post-Pavlovian look at the complexities of human behavior as it manifests through such channels as behavior, emotions, humor, and art. The scientific exploration of what biological and social forces form a person's temperament, character, and personality raises questions rather than provides answers, and would be of interest to managers, negotiators, and others who want to be more systematic about human relations.
