Abstract
Abstract Our chapter provides an overview of individual differences in research in the area of personality by examining five broad topics. First, we describe the analysis of relationships among one or more measures of the same or related constructs. Second, we examine continuity and change in personality constructs over time. Third, we describe the relationships among different constructs. We indicate how exploratory and confirmatory methods may be used to construct taxonomies and to infer causal relationships among personality constructs. Fourth, we examine cases in which constructs are structurally invariant and structurally variant for different groups. Fifth, we consider cross‐domain relationships between individual difference constructs and constructs derived from biological, genetic, and cognitive experimental psychology. At several places we indicate the way in which theoretical assumptions structure methodological approaches.
