David King

Dr. David King has taught courses in personality, health psychology, and the psychology of death and dying at University of British Columbia's (UBC) Department of Psychology in Canada

His current study focuses on how stress manifests itself in social contexts of various sizes and complexity, ranging from dyads and families to larger social and cultural contexts (e.g., disease outbreaks, collective traumas). Socioeconomic aspects in health, the influence of stigma and prejudice on well-being, and the function of meaning in trauma are among her other academic interests. He is also the co-author of two undergraduate textbooks, in addition to numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals.

David is dedicated to advancing critical thought and dialogue on the intricacies of human nature, whether through teaching, writing, or research.

The field of Personality Psychology is now entering a golden age of sorts and the changes made to this first edition convey a discipline that is vibrant in a way it never has been before. After all, no other field is devoted to the study of all that it means to be human. Like the editions before it, major findings, both contemporary and classical, are presented in the context of 6 key domains (not necessarily in this order) ― Biological, Social and/Culture, Dispositional, Cognitive/Experimental, Intrapsychic, and Adjustment ― providing the main foundation for the understanding and analysis of human personality.
