- Summary
- "Several facets of the game of chess have been used in the past to model and evaluate a myriad of psychological theories in a variety of empirical studies. Most of these studies have taken either an experimental or a correlational approach (Table 1.1). Over half a century ago Lee J. Cronbach examined in detail the evolution of empirical psychology stemming from these two lines of work (Cronbach, 1957). Cronbach contended that a combination of the experimental and correlational approaches would be the most rewarding for advancing psychology in both, basic and applied research. Analogue arguments have been repeatedly brought up, for example regarding the study of the differences in human intelligence while advocating for a higher cooperation between cognitive scientists with differential psychologists (Deary, 2001). Individual differences in several psychological attributes apart from intelligence are critical to understand the behaviour of people. In the past forty years there has been a growing interest about the role of these individual differences because they appear to modulate human behaviour in important domains such as work, health, or education"-- Provided by publisher.
