Rushton: The great theoretician and his contribution to personality
نویسنده
چکیده
Please cite this article in press as: Templer, D. I. (2012), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2012.04 J. Philippe Rushton has been described as one of the greatest theorists in the field of personality and individual differences and social psychology. His life history theory (Differential K Theory) was said to bring unification to the scientific study of racial differences as Einstein’s theory of relativity unified the field of physics. It was maintained that Rushton’s General Factor of Personality (GFP) meshes with both general intelligence and his Differential K Theory. The present author presented a two-pillar theory of adaptive functioning that has a heavy concentration on Rushton conceptualization. 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
