“…There is a vast and largely unmapped domain in personality wherein reside such constructs as motives (McClelland, 1961), values (Rokeach, 1973, defense mechanisms (Cramer, 1991), coping styles (Lazarus, 1991), developmental issues and concerns (Erikson, 1963;Havighurst, 1972), personal strivings (Emmons, 1986), personal projects (Little, 1989), current concerns (Khnger, 1977), life tasks (Cantor & Kihlstrom, 1987), attachment styles (Hazan & Shaver, 1990), conditional patterns (Thorne, 1989), core confiictual relationship themes (Luborsky & Crits-Christoph, 1991), pattems of self-with-other (Ogilvie & Rose, this issue), domain-specific skills and talents (Gardner, 1993), strategies and tactics (D. M. Buss, 1991), and many more personality variables that are both linked to behavior (Cantor, 1990) and important for the full description of the person (McAdams, 1994a). This assorted collection of constructs makes up a second level of personality, to which 1 give the generic and doubtlessly inadequate label of personal concerns.…”
