Abstract
Personality psychology has neglected the study of behaviour. Furr's efforts to provide a
stricter definition of behaviour will not solve the problem, although they may be helpful in
other ways. His articulation of various research strategies for studying behaviour will be
more helpful for enabling personality psychology to contribute important insights and
principles about behaviour. The neglect of behaviour may have roots in how personality
psychologists define the mission of their field, but expanding that mission to encompass
behaviour would be a positive step
