Abstract:

The studies centered on the identification, isolation, and quantification of situational variables that account for substantial variance in human behavior. The main thesis of the investigation is that behavior variance is a function of three universes of variables a. individual differences represented by measures of aptitude, interest, attitude, and personality, b. situational or environmental variables, c. the interaction of individual differences and situational environmental variables. It is believed that intensive theoretical and empirical research focused on the area of situational variables will increase understanding of individual behavior and lead to more accurate predictions of individual and group behavior.
