Abstract
Personality theory and research is a global enterprise, yet its trends and findings have only been slowly incorporated into American personality curricula. This chapter attempts to accelerate this process. The very concept of personality, rooted in Euro-American thought, is critically examined and compared with non-Western conceptions. Empirical links between culture and personality are actively investigated, while the worldwide relevance of fundamental Euro-American personality traits is explored. The effects of socialization and their limits continue to be researched, and neuropsychology of personality is emerging. A multiplicity of research approaches, simultaneously and internationally pursued, is advocated, and a continuing dialogue of contributors to personality psychology across nations and languages is proposed.

Acknowledgment
The following colleagues have provided invaluable leads to publications in languages other than English, which have been included in this chapter’s coverage: Theo Herrmann (Germany), Anna Laura Comunian (Italy), Agris Galvanovskis (Mexico), Alexander Asmolov, Dmitry Leontiev, Boris G. Meshcheryakov, Alexander Poddiakov (Russia), Mayte Miro (Spain), and Martin Grosse Holtforth (Switzerland). In the absence of a comprehensive worldwide abstracting system, it would have been impossible to include in this survey a great many sources in other languages, except for the generous assistance of these international colleagues. Many thanks to all of them!
Sincere appreciation is also expressed to Theo Herrmann, Clark McCauley, and Aaron Pincus for their helpful and constructive suggestions on the prefinal version of the chapter and to David Magnusson for his encouraging comments.
