In his first book, Altruism, socialization, and society (1980), Rushton solved...

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 ...

It was almost exactly 25 years ago as a graduate student in Electrical Engineering that my own intellectual curosity about mechanisms of visual adaptation was kindled. Adaptation is one of the most profound and pervasive sensory phenomena. After steady exposure to a sensory stimulus,, sensitivity is almost always decreased. Odors become less noticeable, lights appear dimmer, tastes become less ...

Though most personality researchers now recognize that ratings of the Big Five are not orthogonal, the field has been divided about whether these trait intercorrelations are substantive (i.e., driven by higher order factors) or artifactual (i.e., driven by correlated measurement error). We used a meta-analytic multitrait-multirater study to estimate trait correlations after common method varian...

Knowledge of droplet behavior is one of the most important criteria for determination of mass transfer kinetics for choosing the type of liquid-liquid extraction columns. Mean drop size data of dispersed phase droplets in continuous phase have been obtained for Various Rotary Agitated Liquid-Liquid Extraction Columns . The effects of operational variables such as mass transfer directions with a...
