Behavioral Ecology on Animal Models - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 278 Animal Models/Behavioral Ecology/Gosling: Researchers in psychology tend to use animal modes to understand the biological and environmental bases of personality (e.g., Ray, Hansen and Waters 2006(1); Willis-Owen and Flint 2007(2) and the implications of various personality traits (e.g., Capitanio, Mendoza and Baroncelli 1999(3); Pederson, King and Landau 2005(4)). Compared with human studies, animal studies afford greater experimental control of both environmental and genetic factors, as well as greater ability to manipulate independent variables and assess dependent variables (Gosling 2001(5); Mehta and Gosling 2006(6); Vazire and Gosling 2003(7)). >Animal Studies. 1.
