Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the
publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to
integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical
paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational,
criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the
causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived
from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and
environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible
interaction effects. Ultimately they believe that human beings are bio-social
organisms and that work on individual differences can be most fruitfully
pursued by paying attention to both these aspects of our nature. They believe
that advances are more likely to be made by the use of the
hypothetical-deductive method, though empirical data based on sound research
and providing interesting new findings, would of course not be rejected simply
because they might not have a good theoretical underpinning. All in all, the
traditional type of work on traits, abilities, attitudes, types and other
latent structures underlying consistencies in behavior has in recent years been
receiving rather short shrift in traditional journals of personality;
Personality and Individual Differences aims to reinstate it to its proper place
in psychology, equal in importance with general experimental work, and
interacting with it to make up a unitary science of psychology.
