message: I agree that it would be appropriate to merge individual differences and differential psychology.  Individual differences is the most common term of the two in psychology.--Jtneill 10:24, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So your opinion is differential psychology should be moved to individual differences?--Nectar 10:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Nectar - Yes - my view is based on having taught several undergrad psych courses on personality and individual differences e.g., journal titles in this field use personality and individual differences; differential psychology is less common Jtneill 10:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My impression also is that individual differences is far more commonly used than differential psychology.  I suggest merging differential psychology into individual differences Pete.Hurd 07:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I hope if the two pages are merged the content from the differential psyc site is kept as the content on the ID psyc page is really random and nothing like what I think of as the focus of research in this area (which I study).--Parkerjackson 21:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "Individual differences psychology focuses on this second level of study."
On its own, that makes no sense. It looks like a paragraph was deleted above it, the paragraphs were reordered, or this article was split from another one. It would be nice if someone who actually knows what "this second level of study" refers to would clarify. --67.110.213.253 06:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

message: You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of   Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in those issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 02:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing 

message: I have changed the importance rating from low to high. This is a major discipline in psychology with a wealth of published research. Considering the heated and enduring controversy surrounding research on intelligence testing, a central concern of differential psychology, it seems clear that this is a very well-known field within the discipline of psychology. Additionally, any introductory textbook on psychology will have whole chapters devoted to personality and intelligence respectively. Not a trivial or minor area by any means.-Smcg8374 (talk) 03:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The phrase "to name just a few" which is used in the section on topics studied in differential psychology sounds rather colloquial for an encyclopedia article. Vorbee (talk) 12:46, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: To name just a few

message: Hello All, 
One thing that I have noticed is that the sections are not as long and I feel like there is opportunity for links or more explanations such as the section neurons. For example: this section could elaborate on the findings of psychologists have found about serotonin inhibiting responses to harmful stimuli, dopamine's affiliation to pleasurable, exciting stimuli, epinephrine's role in responding to past pleasures. This is just an example, and I understand that Wikipedia wants the information to be more summarized in general. The role that differential psychology plays in determining medical evaluation and job selection (Ashton, 2018). Thank you!
