Selection, evocation, and manipulation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose three key mechanisms by which personality and social processes are intrinsically linked: selection, evocation, and manipulation, defined as the ways in which individuals unintentionally elicit predictable reactions from others in their social environments.

Integrating Different Perspectives on Socialization Theory and Research: A Domain-Specific Approach.
Joan E. Grusec,Maayan Davidov +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this approach requires researchers to identify the domain of social interaction they are investigating, to understand that phenotypically similar behaviors may belong to different domains, and to acknowledge that caregivers who are effective in one type of interaction may not be effective in another.

The roots of human altruism.
Felix Warneken,Michael Tomasello +1 more

TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
