dc.description.abstract | The target article by Baumert et al. is an ambitious attempt to combine personality structure, process and development into a coherent whole. We applaud the effort and would like to suggest an analogy that might prove useful when addressing their three questions. The analogy is the physics involved in the climate sciences. Indeed we have suggested that “personality is to emotion as climate is to weather” that is, that what we call personality traits are a long term average of behaviors and emotional reactions that can seem to have different causes than the short term fluctuations known as emotional, cognitive and behavioral states (Revelle, 2007, Revelle and Wilt, 2016). | en_US |
