Jens B. Asendorpf on Interactionism - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 48 Interactionism/psychology/Asendorpf: In the early days of the so-called interactionism in personality research, researchers tried to identify generalizable estimates of the proportion of variance that can be attributed to persons, situations and person by situation interaction (e.g., Endler and Hunt 1966)(1). Such attempts are in vain because empirical studies which controlled measurement error by aggregating behaviour over time or across similar situations have found that the size of person-situation interaction varies greatly between different traits. For example, Diener and Larsen (1984)(2) found that the interaction component was virtually zero for subjective wellbeing but maximum (equivalent to zero cross-situational consistency) for sociability at work versus in recreational situations. Furthermore, the size of the interaction also varies greatly according to the similarity of the selected situations: the more similar the situations, the smaller the interaction components. >Interaction/Kenny. 1.
