Designating this book (Handbook of Personality Psychology) a "handbook" is at once accurate and possibly unfortunate. Handbooks are frequently rather dreary affairs, occasionally useful as sources and for citation but scarcely worth reading.
In fact, this book is highly interesting and readable, comprehensive and authoritative. The domain of personality is covered almost completely, and the material is quite up to date. This book is not a collection of previously published or only slightly reworked papers. It gives clear indication of the careful thought the editors gave to its planning and their firm control over its writing. To begin with, it is wholly refreshing to have a comprehensive work on personality that pays no particular attention to theories of personality. There are no chapters in this volume to review what Freud said or Adler or Rogers or Bandura or anyone else. Theorists such as Freud are mentioned when their views are relevant to topics under discussion, but, blessedly, no summaries of the major theories are included. Instead, the editors present a comprehensive and coherent view of the field of personality today.
The work is presented in eight sections that deal in essence with what personality is, how it is studied, how it develops, its biological and social determinants, how personality works, and what it is useful for. There are 36 chapters extending nearly a thousand pages. The editors chose specific authors for each of the chapters; they chose well and they were remarkably successful in getting the participation of authoritative scientists who generally write quite well.
The handbook lends itself well to its function as a resource volume. Its only obvious deficiency is the lack of a name index, which in these days of information processors should have been possible at modest cost.
Many years ago, I gave up teaching a theories-of-personality course because the dominant textbook was so thorough and well done that it left me with very little to do in the classroom. This handbook would, I think, be a splendid textbook, despite the thoroughness of its coverage, because it leaves the instructor with the challenging but engaging task of integrating the material, which would provide an opening for any instructor with a particular theoretical passion, but many other routes to integration are possible.
With respect to being an aid to teaching personality theories, the author thinks that the book______.
选项
A、leaves room for the instructor’s creativity
B、presents a challenge to current theories
C、contains thorough knowledge of personality
D、provides an integrated system of theories
答案
A
解析
本题是推理题,考查考生对最后一段的理解,尤其是对第一句的理解。在这一段中,文章作者说明了为什么他(她)多年前要放弃“性格理论”这门课程,这句貌似与文中推荐的《性格心理学手册》这本书无关,但恰恰是通过对比的方法说明该书用于教学时的优势:可以令教师有发挥的空间。
