Jan Strelau, Warsaw School of
Social Psychology, Warsaw, Poland
'Jan Strelau chronicles his courageous 50-year-long investigation
of temperament . . . culminating in . . . the regulative theory of
temperament. . . . Strelau’s focus on the regulative aspect of
temperament offers important insights for further research to
advance our understanding of how temperament affects our actions,
especially in stressful circumstances.' (Patricia T. Ashtonin,
PsycCRITIQUES)
'The importance of Strelau’s research . . . makes this book
indispensable. . . . Strelau has managed the rare achievement of
bequeathing a theory of which not only he and his students,
collaborators, and disciples can be proud, but indeed the entire
field of differential psychology.' (K. V. Petrides, Personality and
Individual Differences)
Prepublication praise . . .
In this exciting new book, Jan Strelau continues to carry on the
tradition begun by Ivan Pavlov on temperament. Strelau’swriting and
the important research described in the book illuminate our
understanding of temperament and show us how to apply this
understanding to our work and life. Highly recommended to all in
the areas of temperament, personality, and individual differences.'
(Mary K. Rothbart, University of Oregon)
'Jan Strelau’s book is of considerable importance to all scientists
who study the biological and behavioral bases of individual
differences in temperament. His Regulative Theory of Temperament
and the resulting FCB-TI for assessing temperament provide a rich
and dynamic framework for the study of temperament.' (Donald H.
Saklofske, University of Calgary)
