A data analysis model is proposed for studies concerning attribution theory. The model is based on the author's previous work in the area of trait view theory. (JKS)

A framework for understanding how cerebral specialization of function contributes to the flexibility of human information processing is presented. The left and right hemispheres together form a system of two mutually inaccessible and finite pools of resources which cannot be made available in different amounts at any given time. (Author/RD)

Two experiments were conducted in which same-sex pairs of subjects who were either similar or opposite in self-monitoring conversed for 10 minutes. Conversations were videotaped, and the patterning of speech and gaze was examined. (Author/SS)

Nomothetic and idiographic approaches to the study of individual differences and individuality are discussed. It is argued that traditional nomothetic and idiographic perspectives are limited and alternative perspectives are offered. Computer simulation is proposed as a methodology for examination of these alternative perspectives. (Author/JKS)

Studied whether a primary imagery (IM) factor can be identified as a separate dimension of individual differences in the spatial ability domain. Findings for 213 adults suggest the existence of three first-order IM factors, and a second-order confirmatory factor analysis suggests that the visual imagery dimensions can be located within the spatial…

Explains transliteration and describes Greeklish, a Windows application that automatically produces English to Greek transliteration and back-transliteration (retransliteration), based on an algorithm with a table of associations between the two character sets. Describes how the table can be modified for personal preferences and discusses its…

This study was conducted in a private language school in Auckland, New Zealand to investigate the relationship between course level and reported frequency of language learning strategy use by speakers of other languages and to look for patterns of strategy use according to course level and other learner variables (Author/VWL)

Presents a new approach to understanding and using cognitive styles to enhance individual language learning. Introduces a new construct (Ehrman & Leaver, 2002) and illustrates it with two student cases. (Author/VWL)

Structural equation modeling is used in the simultaneous study of individual and group latent change patterns on several longitudinally assessed variables. The approach, which is based on a special case of the comprehensive latent curve analysis of W. Meredith and J. Tisak (1990), is illustrated with a two-group study. (SLD)

Argues that there are important individual differences in infant responses to frustrating situations. These different patterns of behavior have important implications for subsequent responses to challenge. Also argues that these different coping responses are in part temperamentally based and that individual differences in temperament help us to…

A total of 45 3-month-olds were observed for stability in forming visual expectations. Findings indicate that infant performance in the Visual Expectation Paradigm is reliable as early as 3 months. Individual differences exist in infants' tendency to form visual expectations. (RH)

Presents a team-building model using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and female/male developmental theory. Concludes that effective team building is a critical aspect of management and the concept of appreciation of differences through understanding personal types and female/male developmental issues adds dimensions to team building. (Author/ABL)

Compared responses of two groups of conduct-disordered adolescents (N=76): those who scored high on a depressive inventory and those who did not. Found groups differed significantly, not only on depressive feelings, but also on other emotional difficulties which suggests existence of subgroups with different characteristics within…

The article summarizes the four preceding articles on specific reading disability and emphasizes the presence of variability in all discussions of the topic. (DB)

Tested the hypothesis that religious intrinsicness predicts failure to confront existential problems and an interactional orientation promotes the opposite influence. Results from 94 male and 107 female college students failed to support hypothesis that orthodox, intrinsic individuals are rigid in their approach to existential questions in life.…
