Personality integration: A synthesis of the parts and wholes of individuality theory
Individuality theory views the total psychological system or personality as an organized complexity which is partitioned into six major systems—sensory, motor, cognition, affect, value, and style. Each of these systems is, in turn, describable in terms of its subsystems and their components. Individuality is captured via the concept of multivariate personality type, which includes both profile and temporal characteristics. Organism‐environment in…

An overview of a multifactor-system theory of personality and individual differences: III. Life span development and the heredity-environment issue
In Part III of this three-part series on multifactor-system theory, multivariate, life-span development is approached from the standpoint of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the ontogenesis of factors in each of the six systems. The pattern of quantitative development (described via the Gompertz equation and three developmental parameters) involves growth, stability, and decline, and qualitative development involves changes in the organ…

A personal portrayal of Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1901-1972): System theorist and interdisciplinary scholar at the University of Alberta
This is a eulogy of Professor von Bertalanffy, presented at a conference at the University of Alberta in May, 1979. Professor von Bertalanffy is generally regarded as the founder of general system theory, a conceptual framework which has the potential of being the scientific paradigm of the nonphysical sciences. The distinctive aim of this approach is to understand the properties and principles of any organized complexity, regardless of content. …
Cognitive Abilities As Expressions Of Three "Ways Of Knowing"
Factor analytic studies suggest that there are six replicable second order cognitive factors. These six factors lend themselves to being interpreted as aspects of Royce's (1964) three "ways of knowing." This view provides a unified explanation of the second and third order factors. We hypothesize that each second order factor represents either the number of cognitive schemata of a particular type that a person possesses or the quality of these sc…

Toward a viable theory of individual differences
Toward a multi-factor theory of styles and their relationships to cognition and affect1
This paper is focused on the structural aspects of a multidimensional, system-dynamics model of stylistic processing. Styles are distinguished as cognitive, affective, and cognitive-affective constructs, depending on their association with either cognitive abilities, affective traits, or both. A hierarchy of styles is proposed in which three general styles described as rational, empirical, and metaphoric are indicated as higher-order constructs w…
Paths to Being, Life Style, and Individuality
Our analysis of the ways in which individuals attempt to make their lives meaningful has identified three basic paths to being, each motivated by a distinctive value-orientation, intrinsic, self, or social. Valid philosophies of life emerge when these value commitments entail existential risk and an existential criterion. Furthermore, distinctive life styles are considered to result from attempts to pursue patterns in living that are consistent w…

Factor Analytic Studies Of Human Brain Damage: I. First And Second-Order Factors And Their Brain Correlates
This report is concerned with identifying the first and second-order cognitive factors underlying a battery of 49 measures taken from 22 brain damage tests. The test scores from 176 brain damaged patients between 16 and 65 years of age were intercorrelated and subjected to first-order alpha factoring followed by promax rotation to oblique simple structure. Ten of the 13 first-order factors extracted were interpretable, six of them being perceptua…
Acrophobia Factor Scores As A Function Of Pole Height And Habituation
Thirty C57BL/ALB mice, fifteen male and fifteen female, were tested for "acrophobia" via the pole test. The animals were randomly distributed into three groups of 6, 12, or 24 inch (15.24, 30.48, or 60.96 cm) high poles:. Both factor scores and individual pole measures were analyzed by 2 x 3 x 5 ANOVA, with main effects for sex, pole height, and days of testing. The results provide experimental support for the interpretation of this factor as acr…
Factors of Mouse Emotionality at the Second Order, Third Order, and Fourth Order
Data which had previously yielded 15 factors at the first order were reanalyzed to produce six second-order, three third-order and one fourth-order factors. Broad behavioral patterns were discovered which indicate that escape, avoidance, emotionality, and motor reactivity are the primary manifestations of affectivity in a variety of test situations. In spite of difficulties in distinguishing between dimensions at different strata, this investigat…

Toward the Advancement of Theoretical Psychology
There are signs that a healthy resurgence of interest in theory is occurring among psychologists. LVhile some will undoubtedly take the opposite point of view, perhaps most psychologists will agree that there has actually been something of an anti-theoretical climate in psychology for roughly the last quarter-century. Certainly in 1956 it is not quite as dangerous to go out on a theoretical limb as it was in 1935. I am going to present a point of…

Pebble Picking versus Boulder Building
Contemporary psychology is suffering from an empirical overload which defies our scientific understanding. While scientific advancement requires a sound observational foundation, it also requires integrating theory. Psychology has not yet achieved full scientific stature; but it has matured sufficiently to readmit the arm-chair, including the deliberation of philosophical issues as well as attempts to evolve theoretical structures
Optimal Stimulus Parameters In Avoidance Conditioning Of Inbred Strains Of Mice
Highly inbred mice of fast and slow conditioning strains (N = 228) were trained in avoidance conditioning and 180 were continued to extinction. The principal goal was to determine optimal stimulus conditions for fast learning, small variances, and maximal strain differences. Conclusions are: a) the major effect of change in CS-US and intertrial intervals occurs, respectively, for intervals less than 3 sec. and 60 sec.; b) change in amperage (150-…
Development of an Inventory to Measure Ways of Knowing
This paper reports progress on the development of a multiple-choice test designed to provide a profile of an individual's epistemological hierarchy. A description of the three scales (metaphoric, empirical, rational) comprising the test is provided. Data on “criterion group” approaches to validity determination and “test re-test” checks on reliability are reported
Invariance of Factors of Mouse Emotionality With Changed Experimental Conditions
Six factors of mouse emotionality (autonomic balance, motor discharge, acrophobia, territoriality, tunneling-1, and tunneling-2) were compared across three separate studies. Each study included 19 measures from five tests of emotionality: open field, straightaway, pole, cell, and hole-in-wall. However, conditions of testing differed significantly in each study. In the first study, the measures taken were part of a large test battery. In the secon…
