Description
The author of the controversial book The Nurture Assumption tackles the biggest mystery in all of psychology: What makes people differ so much in personality and behavior? And if psychologists can’t explain why identical twins are different, they also can’t explain why each of us differs from everyone else. Based on a principle of evolutionary psychology?the idea that the human mind is a toolbox of special-purpose devices?Harris’s theory explains how attributes we all have in common can make us different.

Individual Differences And The Development Of Perceived Control
Attribution
Ellen A. Skinner, Melanie J. Zimmer-Gembeck, James P. Connell ; with commentary by Jacquelynne S. EcclesPublication Details
Book, Society for Research in Child Development, 1998Description
Drawing perspectives from both developmental and individual differences research, this longitudinal study documents the cycles in which children who develop optimal profiles of control are more actively engaged and have better academic success, (or in contrast, how children may doubt their capacities, experience lower scholastic achievement, and believe in the power of luck or unknown forces.) Further, the results show how these cycles may change with age, and suggest ways to improve children’s perceived control. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Tags
