Zusammenfassung

Dieses Kapitel gibt einen Überblick über das biologische Paradigma, das versucht, Persönlichkeit anhand neurowissenschaftlicher, genetischer und evolutionstheoretischer Erkenntnisse zu erklären. Es ist eines der modernen Paradigmen und gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung und Forschungsvolumen. Dieses Paradigma ist stark durch konkrete biologische Methodik und empirische Erkenntnisse geprägt. Es lassen sich drei Strömungen ausmachen:
