In societies that experience rapid social transformation, does an individual's social position have a major influence on their personality? Exploring this, and related questions, Melvin Kohn presents a detailed overview of how social structure relates to personality in a variety of different countries in vastly different political and social contexts. Case studies include the US, communist Poland, Japan, and Poland and the Ukraine during their transition to capitalism.
Melvin Kohn is a professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, is former president of the American Sociological Association and author of many acclaimed research books and articles.
