Abstract
Abstract Chapter 2 offers an overview of the psychology of character and describes how the recent renaissance in personality research has led to renewed interest in the study of character and its relation to personality. Using a trait-centered approach, it provides an empirical and theoretical foundation for the recent revival of character as an subject of scientific psychological study. In particular, it outlines five key questions for the study of moral character, reviews the extant research on character, and discusses areas for future research. The questions concern the relationship of moral behavior to personality traits in general, the consistency of moral behavior, the internal causal structure of character, the rolel of character in self and other knowledge, and the development of character.
