Biological
Basis of PersonalityUntil recently, studies of the nature of personality were limited to particular aspects of the individual. Most early investigations were concerned either with the psychological foundations of personality or with its biological basis. Although this mind-body controversy is still in evidence, much of the research now being done is shaped by a more integrated social-psychological approach. This change in method seems to have come with the realization that the whole, not parts, of the individual responds to the world about him.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
