Personality Theories | Barbara Engler | 9th Edition (Cengage) | Ninth Edition

To help students read with a sense of purpose and review important points quickly, each chapter opens with a list called “Your Goals for This Chapter” and ends with a “Summary,” whose items are keyed to each goal. Thinking Critically” activities appear in each chapter. These boxes ask students to revisit material in the chapter and reconsider it or apply it critically. The “Personal Experiences” feature offers still another opportunity for students to thoughtfully consider the material. The “Philosophical Assumptions” boxes (with accompanying scale on the inside back cover) give students an opportunity to compare and contrast their own philosophical views with those of the theorist at hand
