“…Personality consistency has been found using rating methods (e.g., Dutton, 2008 ; Uher & Asendorpf, 2008 ; Weiss & King, 2015 ), experiments (e.g., Koski & Burkart, 2015 ; Kutsukake et al, 2012 ; Massen et al, 2013 ) and to a smaller extent, via behavioral observations (e.g., Koski, 2011 ; Seyfarth et al, 2012 ; Tkaczynski et al, 2018 ). More specifically, temporal consistency has been found using all three methodologies (see Freeman & Gosling, 2010 ; Gosling, 2001 ); behavioral observations revealed temporal consistency for personality traits (e.g., sociability, boldness, anxiety, boldness) in tufted capuchin ( Sapajus apella : Byrne & Suomi, 1995 ), five macaque species ( Macaca mulatta : von Borell et al, 2016 ; M. nemestrina: Reite & Short, 1980 ; M. nigra : Neumann et al, 2013 ; M. silenus : (Kluiver et al, 2022 ); M. sylvanus : Tkaczynski et al, 2018 ), chacma baboons ( Papio ursinus : Seyfarth et al, 2012 ), and in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes : Koski, 2011 ). In contrast, contextual consistency has been investigated only with the experimental method, but for a range of personality traits, such as sociability, boldness, explorativeness, and anxiety in chimpanzees (e.g., Kutsukake et al, 2012 ; Massen et al, 2013 ; Uher et al, 2008 ), and across different nonhuman primate species (Weiss et al, 2011 ).…”
