直到最近，个体内部的变异性才成为进化论思想的重要组成部分。行为变异性文献的繁荣导致了行为可塑性、刻板性、不精确性和个体内变异性（IIV）等概念的出现。新术语的激增导致概念重叠，在理解可变性的起源方面造成混乱。在这里，我们提供了一个关键的概述有关的概念，在个人的行为变异。我们的结论是，虽然没有行为可塑性和IIV之间的重叠，这些概念重叠与刻板，他们也面临着问题的想法异常和缺乏功能的刻板行为。我们进一步提供了一个关键的概述，有时混淆之间的关系（1）在个人的变异性，（2）一致的变异性在个人（个性）。我们指出，人格是逻辑上独立的激活可塑性和IIV，因为人格出现在人口水平，而可塑性和IIV出现在个人水平。我们的结论是，在人格研究中，不承认存在内部变异或一致的个体间差异的内部变异将导致混合不同的现象，并抑制建设统一的帐户从异构数据库。(C)© 2014 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Only recently, variability within individuals has become of importance to evolutionary thinking. The boom in the literature on behavioural variability has led to the emergence of concepts such as behavioural plasticity, stereotypy, imprecision, and intra-individual variability (IIV). The proliferation of new terms has resulted in overlapping concepts, spreading confusion in understanding the origins of variability. Here we provide a critical overview of the concepts related to behavioural variability within the individual. We conclude that although there is no overlapping between behavioural plasticity and IIV, these concepts do overlap with stereotypy; they also face problems with ideas of abnormality and absence of function in stereotyped behaviour. We further provide a critical overview of the sometimes confusing relationship between (1) within individual variability, and (2) consistent variability across individuals (personality). We point out that personality is logically independent of both activational plasticity and IIV, because personality emerges at the population level, whereas plasticity and IIV emerge at the individual level. We conclude that, in personality studies, the failure to acknowledge the existence of either internal variability or consistent between-individual differences in internal variability will result in mixing different phenomena, and inhibit building unified accounts from heterogeneous databases.
