Individual Differences Research

Individual Differences Research studies how and why people vary from each other in traits, behaviors, abilities, and preferences. It seeks to understand factors like intelligence, personality, motivation, and temperament that influence how individuals think, feel, and act. This research helps explain why people respond differently to experiences, challenges, or environments, and supports personalized approaches in education, work, and mental health. By examining these differences, researchers aim to improve understanding of human diversity and develop strategies to better support each person's unique needs and potential.
