Human Differences

"Human Differences has been written as a contribution to the quest for ways of understanding and dealing with variations among people and the problems and conflicts arising from them. The text provides a comprehensive, clearly written overview of conceptual and empirical contributions to the study of individual and group differences. Physical, social, cognitive, and affective characteristics are dealt with by means of theory and extensive reviews of relevant research. A complete glossary and an up-to-date bibliography contribute to the utility and appropriateness of the book for students at different levels and in a variety of social science disciplines. The book will also serve as a valuable reference source for researchers and professionals in a wide range of scholarly fields."--BOOK JACKET.
