人格心理学一直被指责忽视行为--对人们实际上做了什么不够关注。本文讨论了行为研究与其他重要心理反应分开的四个重要问题：行为的定义，研究行为的重要性，研究行为的核心方法的优点和缺点，以及过去15年来人格心理学对行为的实际研究程度（沿着关于使用特定方法研究行为的信息）。对出版物趋势的分析表明，对行为的研究没有达到其应有的程度;此外，它还表明，在研究行为时，通常是在非常笼统的层面上进行研究，所依赖的方法相对较弱。目前的文件是作为一个起点，集中讨论这些重要问题，可能提高该领域的地位，作为一个真正的行为科学。版权所有（C）2009约翰威利父子有限公司
Personality psychology has been accused of neglecting behaviour-of devoting insufficient attention to what people actually do. The current paper addresses four important issues regarding the study of behaviour as separate from other important psychological responses-the definition of behaviour, the importance of studying behaviour, the strengths and weaknesses of core methods through which behaviour is studied and the degree to which behaviour actually has been studied in personality psychology over the past 15 years (along with information about the use of specific methods of studying behaviour). Analysis of publication trends indicates that behaviour is not studied to the degree it merits; furthermore, it indicates that, when behaviour is studied, it is usually studied at a very generalized level relying on relatively weak methods. The current paper is offered as a starting point for focused discussion of these important issues, potentially enhancing the field's standing as a truly behavioural science.
