Figure 1:

A conceptual organization of the multiple approaches to personality. Theories differ in level of analysis as well as in level of generality. The third dimension, levels of functioning, has not been shown. Cell entries are representative of phenomena studied. Specific theorists are discussed in the text. Broader theories account for phenomena accross more cells than do narrower theories. Theorists tend to emphasize either multiple levels of analysis at the same level of generality or multiple levels of generality at the same level of analysis. Solid lines indicate larger differences of level than do dashed lines.
