Alexander, I.E. (1 990). Personology: method and content in personality assessment and psychobiogmphy. Durham, NC: Duke University Press.How can we know what another human being is like in some meaningful. dynamic sense? Can we distill the signaturelike features of an individual personality? What is the relationship between persod experience and our attempts to describe the person who has that experience? This book attempts to answer these questions.Hope is a sign of health, a fighting spirit, and faith in the belief that somehow good will triumph. In fact, hope is so much part of our present cultural understanding of what it is to be a person, that when we think of someone "without hope", we imagine a person just barely on this side of the grave. Yet what exactly is hope? How is it different from ordinary wants and desires? These are some of the questions this booksets out to answer. The data comes from the experience of hope in t w o cultures, American and Korean. Brinberg, D. (1 989). A social-psychological perspective on food-related behavior.

Reports of the effects of the death of a loved one were collected from subjects at the University of Massachusetts in the United States and the University of Madrid in Spain. Although reports of the overall severity of the experience were similar, differences between the samples were apparent in the specific nature of the experience. Americans indicated that, following the death of a loved one, their self-esteem was diminished, as was their liking and trust of others. In contrast, Spaniards reported a greater negative effect on self-esteem and a positive effect on liking and trust of others. The role of culture in the experience of bereavement is discussed.
