Individual Differences in Pollyannaism

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1979
The Pollyanna Principle states that people process pleasant information more accurately and efficiently than less pleasant information. This study examined whether different measures of Pollyanna tendencies are correlated with each other. Fourteen measures of Pollyannaism were derived for 133 students.

Individual Differences and Individual Difference

The Journal of Special Education, 1990
The current aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) approach to accommodating individual differences has not proved instructionally useful. In this paper, reasons for this failure are identified and considered, and the desirable characteristics of an alternative model are identified.

Individual differences in interocular differences

Annual Meeting Optical Society of America, 1986
A given visual stimulus viewed monocularly with one eye can change in perceived color when viewed monocularly with the other eye. We report here the magnitude of interocular difference for many observers. In the color perception task, observers adjusted a mixture of 540- and 660-nm lights for equilibrium (neither reddish nor greenish) yellow ...

Group differences ≢ individual differences

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractMealey's etiological distinction between primary and secondary sociopathy blurs the delineation between individual and group differences. She uses physiological evidence to support her claim of genetic influences, neglecting variability within social classes, frequency of delinquent behavior in upper and middle classes (measured by self-report),

Individual recognition: it is good to be different

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007
Individual recognition (IR) behavior has been widely studied, uncovering spectacular recognition abilities across a range of taxa and modalities. Most studies of IR focus on the recognizer (receiver). These studies typically explore whether a species is capable of IR, the cues that are used for recognition and the specializations that receivers use to ...

Are Individual Differences in Absentmindedness Correlated with Individual Differences in Attention?

Journal of Individual Differences, 2009
We administered the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and one of two versions of the Attention Network Test (ANT) to 200 participants. Orthogonal subtraction scores based on performance (reaction time and error rate) from selected conditions of the ANT provided measures of the efficacy of three attention components: alerting, orienting, and ...

Individual Differences In Intra-Individual Variability

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1969
For each of 75 Ss several estimates of intra-individual variations were calculated for each of 4 motor skills. The reliability of intra-individual variation for these data, estimated from Pearson productmoment correlations, ranged from r = .31 to r = .51 (in all cases p < .05).

Individual Differences in Graphical Reasoning

2004
People sometimes appear to represent graphical information by analogy to space. In this paper we consider the extent to which the tendency to represent information by analogy to space calls on spatial resources. We also examine whether people who represent graphical information spatially also represent numerical information using a spatial number line.
