Social Sciences on Personality - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 265 Personality/Social sciences/ToobyVsSocial sciences/CosmidesVsSocial sciences: The standard social science model (SSSM) offers no explicit meta-theory to direct the investigation of personality. This leaves personality researchers to follow intuition or trial and error to direct their discovery of new psychological phenomena (Tooby and Cosmides 1992)(1). This may impede significant progress in understanding the mechanisms underlying personality differences and the development of those characteristics. >Personality/Evolutionary psychology. 1.Tooby, J. and Cosmides, L. 1992.
