Book Preface
I’ve always enjoyed the story about the man who claims to own Abraham Lincoln’s axe. “The head has been replaced several times,” the man admits. “And this is the third or fourth handle. But it’s the same axe that Honest Abe used.” I was reminded of this story recently when I thumbed through the first edition of this book. Gradually, over the course of eight editions, much of the book has changed. There are new topics, new learning aids, new examples, and hundreds and hundreds of new references. But, like Lincoln’s axe, the essence of the book remains intact. Briefly, here’s what’s new this time around, as well as what’s stayed the same.

As in previous revisions, each chapter has been updated to reflect new research findings and new developments in the field. More than 250 references have been added to this edition. I’ve also made a few additions and deletions to reflect some of the changes I see in the field. You’ll find an expanded discussion of theory and research on the behavioral activation system (BAS) and behavioral inhibition system (BIS) in Chapter 9. Chapter 14 now includes a section on unmitigated communion as part of the discussion of individual differences in gender-role behavior. I’ve also added a personality scale for students to assess their own level of unmitigated communion. That same chapter includes a new section on the effects of playing violent video games, a topic of particular relevance for many college students. I’ve added a new research topic to Chapter 16—cognitions and aggression. I’ve presented the general aggression model and discussed the research on reactive aggression in elementary school and middle school boys.

I have also dropped some material from the previous edition. I no longer discuss self-esteem stability in depth, although I do include some of the concepts taken from that research in the section on contingencies of self-worth in Chapter 12. I have dropped research on gender schema from Chapter 14, and replaced the research on cognitive interpretations of Freudian concepts found in Chapter 16 of the previous edition. Finally, feedback from users persuaded me to drop the Appendix. The Appendix in the seventh edition summarized various places in the book where culture and gender were mentioned. Of course, those two topics are still discussed frequently throughout the book.

What do you remember the most about the first time you returned to your childhood home?
The most amazing thing for me was how seeing even an insignificant place would trigger a vivid memory. As I walked around my old neighborhood and schools, it seemed every corner, every bench, every tree reminded me of a conversation that had once happened in that exact spot. These were not important conversations, but rather experiences that might never have come to mind without putting myself in the place where they happened.
What are some of your favorite books from your childhood?
I devoured books about baseball. Something about the statistics just grabbed me. I can still tell you about batting averages and home run numbers from decades ago.
Name a book that you'd be embarrassed to be seen reading.
Actually, I’ve got shelves of them. For a while, I thought I wanted to write mystery novels. So I spent a few years attending workshops and reading the genre. Some were pretty good, but quite a few were not. I eventually realized that mystery novels were not for me, although I can certainly understand their popularity. Unfortunately, I got to the point where I could almost always tell you who dunnit about halfway through the book.
Which deceased author would you most like to take out to dinner?
How great it would be to sit down with Mark Twain and go over Huckleberry Finn scene by scene. I would ask him what he was trying to do, where he got the inspiration, and what impact he thought he might have.
Did you ever read a book and then wish you had all that time back?
I’ve gotten pretty good about cutting my losses with books that just aren’t working for me. I usually give them 60 to 100 pages. If I’m not enjoying the book at that point, I have no problem putting it back on the shelf. There are too many good books out there waiting to be read.
What was the book that most influenced your life and why?
Probably John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. I was pretty young the first time I read it. But that book made me appreciate for the first time the power of words. The power to evoke emotion, to make people think. And, given the subject matter of the book, I saw how a novel can address big issues in a way no other medium can. I reread the book recently, and it was just as powerful as I remembered.
What is the best writing advice you've ever been given?
Someone once told me there are only two rules for writers. Rule Number 1: A Writer Writes. Rule Number 2: A Writer Reads. Any other writing rule can be broken. But never these two.
