INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES ASSOCIATION

Individual Differences Association (IDA) is an interdisciplinary, international, and non-profit scientific organization devoted to promoting the scholarly study of individual differences. Our goals are: 1) to promote the scientific study of individual differences, 2) provide a forum for scholars interested in individual differences to share ideas and knowledge, 3) disseminate research on individual differences by publishing a scholarly peer-reviewed journal, and 4) providing educational and research information about individual differences to the general public.

The study of individual differences in psychology has a long and varied history abounding with theoretical traditions. Unfortunately, the status of individual differences research over several decades diminished as psychology emphasized experimentation and behaviorism. Now, however, personality and individual differences are again gaining the attention of scholars who understand its importance in understanding individuals across a variety of contexts. We encourage researchers, students, and others interested in individual differences to join us in our endeavor to put individual differences among the premier foci of psychological research.

IDA was initially established in 2002 as Individual Differences Research Group, an unincorporated, closed-society with the primary goal of disseminating research on individual differences. The organization has widened its interests and been re-formed as IDA, a scientific and non-profit organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania open to all those interested in individual differences. Re-structured and invigorated by our broadened mission and membership, IDA is pushing forward with our primary goal of promoting the study of individual differences.
