Mood and Temperament by David Watson Book PDF Summary
Integrating findings from recent literature and his ongoing 20-year research program, Watson (psychology, U. of Iowa) presents a framework for understanding short-term mood fluctuations and their relationship to differences in temperament and emotionality. He discusses the biological and environmental bases for mood fluctuations, relates affectivity to personality, links negative emotionality to various health complaints, and describes the implications of his study for theories of happiness.
