Integrating idiographic and nomothetic approaches to the study of behavior has met with success via the idiographic filter (IF) which separates irrelevant inter-individual differences from relevant inter-individual similarities at the level of construct measurement in order to facilitate drawing conclusions regarding nomothetic relationships among the constructs. We propose an integration of the IF and the ACE behavior genetics models through the use of P-technique factor analysis and its dynamic factor analysis extensions and examine how it can strengthen the modeling of genetic and environmental effects in behavioral data representing intra-person variation, change, and process.
将具体论和通则论方法整合到行为研究中，已经通过具体论过滤器（IF）取得了成功，IF 能够在结构测量层面上，将不相关的个体间差异与相关的个体间相似性区分开来，以便能够对结构之间的通则论关系得出结论。我们通过使用 P 技术因素分析及其动态因素分析扩展，提出了 IF 与 ACE 行为遗传学模型的整合，并研究了它如何能够加强对代表个体内变异、变化和过程的行为数据中的遗传和环境效应进行建模。
