Bown, Jennifer; White, Cynthia – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL), 2010

Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Nesselroade, John R.; Gerstorf, Denis; Hardy, Sam A.; Ram, Nilam – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2007
Ideally, the unit of analysis in psychology is the individual. However, many psychological methods do not cope well, either at the level of construct definition or at the level of measurement, with individuality in behavior. There is little leeway for constructs to be both idiosyncratically tailored to the individual, and still identified as…

Mischel, Walter; Shoda, Yuichi – Psychological Review, 1995
A theory of personality is proposed to reconcile paradoxical findings on the invariance of personality and the variability of behavior across situations. Individuals are assumed to differ in the accessibility of cognitive-affective mediating units and the organizations of the interactions of these units and situations. (SLD)

Aggression in a proportion of people with intellectual disabilities is often assumed to be due to social-cognitive deficits.

This sex difference remains throughout early and middle adulthood. Prior to early adolescence, there is essentially no sex difference in the rate of depression. The aim of the present review is to examine…
