  • Questions established beliefs in the field, especially issues that have been characterized as not a problem, such as differential validity, over-reliance on self-report, and faking good
  • Contains expanded discussion of research and practice in the US and internationally, while maintaining the definitive coverage of UK and European selection approaches
  • Provides comprehensive yet accessible information for professionals and students, as well as helpful pedagogical tools (technical and statistical boxes, simplified figures and tables, research agenda boxes, key point summaries, and key references)
