Adaptive Individual Differences
Individuals differ in innumerable ways, some adaptive, some maladaptive, and some neutral. Personality theories, we argue, can profit from distinguishing among these importantly different types of individual variation. This article outlines a taxonomy of origins of individual differences—environmental sources of adaptive differences (e.g., early environmental calibration), heritable sources of ...
متن کاملAdaptive Individual Differences Revisited
Humans possess a complex array of evolved psychological mechanisms, only a subset of which is activated at any particular time. Attempts to reduce human sexual strategies to a single, rigid, invariant strategy, and to label departures from a single strategy as maladjusted, fail to accord with a large body of empirical evidence. Personality psychology cannot afford to ignore the rich repertoire ...
متن کاملIndividual Differences in Adaptive Hypermedia
In this paper we build on research reported in the areas of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia and learning styles in order to deal with critical issues influencing the design of adaptation based on the learning style information. In more detail we concentrate on: (i) the different learning style categorizations that have been or could be used for modelling learners’ learning style in the context ...
متن کاملThe Darkness Within: Individual Differences in Stress
Editor's Note: Numerous factors make us react to situations differently: age, gender, education, relationships, socioeconomic status, environment, cultural background, life experience. But as our author describes, biological bases, such as the way genetics and neurochemicals affect our brains, are providing insight into addiction, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other stresses that he calls ...
متن کاملIndividual differences within and across attentional blink tasks revisited.
When the second of two targets (T2) is presented in close temporal proximity (within 200-500 ms) to the first (T1), the accuracy for reporting T2 is reduced relative to when the targets are separated by longer durations; this effect is known as the attentional blink (AB). Two recent studies have shown that individual differences in the magnitudes of the AB are stable both within a single testin...
