Recently, there has been an increased interest in research on
personality, temperament, and behavioral syndromes (henceforth to
be referred to as personality) in nonhuman primates and other
animals. This follows, in part, from a general interest in the
subject matter and the realization that individual differences,
once consigned to 'error' terms in statistical analyses, are
potentially important predictors, moderators, and mediators of a
wide variety of outcomes ranging from the results of experiments to
health to enrichment programs. Unfortunately, while there is a
burgeoning interest in the subject matter, findings have been
reported in a diverse number of journals and most of the
methodological and statistical approaches were developed in
research on human personality. The proposed volume seeks to gather
submissions from a variety of specialists in research on individual
differences in primate temperament, personality, or behavioral
syndromes. We anticipate that chapters will cover several areas.
The first part of this edited volume will focus on methodological
considerations including the advantages and disadvantages of
different means of assessing these constructs in primates and
introduce some statistical approaches that have typically been the
domain of human personality research. Another part of this edited
volume will focus on present findings including the physiological
and genetic bases of personality dimensions in primates; the
relationship between personality and age; how personality may
moderate or impact various outcomes including behavior, health, and
well-being in captive and non-captive environments. For the third
part of the volume we hope to obtain summaries of the existing work
of the authors on the evolutionary important of personality
dimensions and guideposts for future directions in this new and
exciting area of research.
