Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic is one of the most cited and novel approaches to psychology ever written. Hans Eysenck presents a descriptive and causal model of human personality in accord with the major concepts of experimental psychology and the physiological and neurological mechanisms that form the biological basis of behavior patterns. His proposal for an alliance between personality and physiology represented a major innovation in the field of psychology, distinguished his research from his contemporaries, and set the stage for a wealth of research to come. Before this foundational work, Eysenck had initially constructed a model of personality in such works as Dimensions of Personality and The Experimental Study of Personality, but these were primarily descriptive in nature. A second phase of research included his Dynamics of Anxiety and Hysteria and Experiments with Drugs, where he provided causal analysis by reference to concepts then current in experimental psychology. The Biological Basis of Personality represents Eysenck's third phase, when he dug deeper to find biological causes underlying the psychological concepts of emotion, excitation, and inhibition--which had formed the building blocks of his earlier efforts. In this work, the causal links he postulates between personality variables and neurological and physiological discoveries establish a realistic model that takes theory out of the field of mere speculation. As Sybil Eysenck makes clear in her new preface, this book paved the way for a "marriage" of the experimental and individual difference approach in personality psychology.

Download or read book Biological Bases of Individual Behavior written by V. D. Nebylitsyn and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Bases of Individual Behavior contains a mixture of papers from East and West. The book can be organized into two parts. The articles in the first part, which might broadly be termed ""physiological"", examine a number of questions relating to the physiological constitution and to methods of measuring the properties of the nervous system. This section opens with one of Teplov's last papers, which contains a lucid exposition of the main results of research carried out in 1964 in the laboratory he directed. The other articles in this section elucidate the use of electroencephalographic and Chronometrie methods of studying the properties of the nervous system; examine problems of sensitivity and ""partiality"" in the manifestation of the basic properties; and present the results of experiments conducted to study the correlations between certain properties of the nervous system and features of the human constitution, as well as between age and neurodynamic factors. The second part of the volume may be described as psychophysiological. It consists of articles which examine the possible physiological mechanisms of individual psychological features of behavior. Many are devoted to either experimental or theoretical analysis of the neurophysiological bases of the personality dimension of extraversisn-introversion.
Download or read book Individuality in Organisms Classic Reprint written by Charles Manning Child and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Individuality in Organisms The present book is an attempt to state, and to present some of the evidence in favor of, a conception of the nature of organic individuality which has gradually developed in the mind of the writer during the course of some fifteen years' investigation of the simpler processes of reproduction and development in the lower animals. In these forms organic individuality appears in relatively simple terms, and it is here if anywhere that we must look for the key to the problem of individuality in the higher animals and man. With the great variety of facts at hand and the limited space available, it has often been difficult to decide what particular points of the evidence to include in the consideration and what to omit. To those familiar with biological facts it will doubtless be evident that many data from various lines of investigation have been either barely mentioned or entirely omitted. The attempt has been made to show in some degree the wide range of applicability of this conception of individuality to various biological fields, and it is perhaps permissible to express the hope that, not only the physiologist and botanist, but also the neurologist, the psychologist, and the sociologist may find something of interest in it. Chaps. i and ii are necessarily somewhat abstract and condensed and may seem to some readers to demand too extensive a background of biological knowledge. A re-reading of these chapters after reading chaps, iii-vi will assist in decreasing this difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Means to an End written by William R. Clark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we age? Is aging inevitable? Will advances in medical knowledge allow us to extend the human lifespan beyond its present limits? Because growing old has long been the one irreducible reality of human existence, these intriguing questions arise more often in the context of science fiction than science fact. But recent discoveries in the fields of cell biology and molecular genetics are seriously challenging the assumption that human lifespans are beyond our control. With such discoveries in mind, noted cell biologist William R. Clark clearly and skillfully describes how senescence begins at the level of individual cells and how cellular replication may be bound up with aging of the entire organism. He explores the evolutionary origin and function of aging, the cellular connections between aging and cancer, the parallels between cellular senescence and Alzheimer's disease, and the insights gained through studying human genetic disorders--such as Werner's syndrome--that mimic the symptoms of aging. Clark also explains how reduction in caloric intake may actually help increase lifespan, and how the destructive effects of oxidative elements in the body may be limited by the consumption of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. In a final chapter, Clark considers the social and economic aspects of living longer, the implications of gene therapy on senescence, and what we might learn about aging from experiments in cloning. This is a highly readable, provocative account of some of the most far-reaching and controversial questions we are likely to ask in the next century.

Download or read book Biological Individuality written by Scott Lidgard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals are things that everybody knows—or thinks they do. Yet even scholars who practice or analyze the biological sciences often cannot agree on what an individual is and why. One reason for this disagreement is that the many important biological individuality concepts serve very different purposes—defining, classifying, or explaining living structure, function, interaction, persistence, or evolution. Indeed, as the contributors to Biological Individuality reveal, nature is too messy for simple definitions of this concept, organisms too quirky in the diverse ways they reproduce, function, and interact, and human ideas about individuality too fraught with philosophical and historical meaning. Bringing together biologists, historians, and philosophers, this book provides a multifaceted exploration of biological individuality that identifies leading and less familiar perceptions of individuality both past and present, what they are good for, and in what contexts. Biological practice and theory recognize individuals at myriad levels of organization, from genes to organisms to symbiotic systems. We depend on these notions of individuality to address theoretical questions about multilevel natural selection and Darwinian fitness; to illuminate empirical questions about development, function, and ecology; to ground philosophical questions about the nature of organisms and causation; and to probe historical and cultural circumstances that resonate with parallel questions about the nature of society. Charting an interdisciplinary research agenda that broadens the frameworks in which biological individuality is discussed, this book makes clear that in the realm of the individual, there is not and should not be a direct path from biological paradigms based on model organisms through to philosophical generalization and historical reification.
