Abstract
Human behaviors and experiences are generated by biological processes, primarily within the brain. On this basis, we may assume that the regularities in these behaviors and experiences that constitute personality are associated with regularities in the biological functions of the brain, making personality neuroscience possible (Allen & DeYoung, 2017; DeYoung, 2010; Yarkoni, 2015; Zuckerman, 2005). It is increasingly easy to study psychologically relevant individual differences using neuroscientific methods, and this field is growing rapidly, as indicated by the establishment of a new journal, Personality Neuroscience.
