Comparative Psychology on Identification - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 277 Identification/properties/method/psychology/science/Gosling: for [a property, e.g.] boldness to be identified in a species it is necessary for variation to exist, with different individuals expressing different levels of boldness; if all individuals in a species had exactly the same levels of boldness then that trait would be said to be characteristic of the species and would not be considered a personality trait. >Invariance, >Covariance, >Measurement, >Method, >Order, >Levels. Problem: The necessity for individual variation raises some theoretical issues within the context of evolutionary processes because selection tends to reduce or eliminate differences. >Evolution, >Selection.
