The book is organized around two overarching and interrelated themes, with the first focusing on assessing the person and the situation, covering methodological advances and techniques for inferring and measuring characteristics, and showing how they can be instantiated for measurement and predictive purposes.
The book's second theme presents theoretical models, conceptualizing how factors of the person and situation can help us understand the psychological dynamics which underlie behavior, the psychological experience of fit or congruence with one’s environment, and changes in personality traits over time.
- Identifies technologies for measuring and predicting behavior

Graduate students, researchers, academics and professionals in the areas of social and personality psychology, engineering, human factors, robotics, applied psychology, computer science, and machine intelligence.
