However, previous research has largely  been confined to studies at the descriptive level. This book tries to  explain individual difference, rather than merely describe them.  Explanations are derived from two major competing frameworks: the  biological and social approaches to individuality. The book is based  on the contributions of specialists from Europe and North America  invited to represent the biological and social points of view. Thus, a  direct confrontation is obtained of two approaches that, hitherto,  have proceeded with virtually no reference to each other. Attention is  paid to behavior genetics, psychophysiology and temperament, as well  as to social learning, behavioral strategies and person-environment  interactions. Differences and commonalities between the biological and  social approaches are scrutinized and a common framework is outlined  to stimulate future research. Due to its innovative character, the  book is particularly relevant for investigators in the field. In  addition, it may be fruitfully used in advanced graduate level courses  in personality psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047258\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1660-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 281\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398582464652,"sku":"9789401047258","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047258.jpg?v=1775732559","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401047258","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
