Description
Discussing the controversial topic of consistency in personality psychology, this book introduces scalability as a theoretically satisfying conceptualization. Three empirical studies of scalability are described. Their focus is on the role of scalability as a moderator in prediction. By reviewing previous approaches to personality assessment, the book intends to provide a sound theoretical basis for the description and mapping of personalities.
