Summary:

Scientific investigation is often aimed on generation and description of a low dimensional simple form that is, however, an accurate representation of the structure of numerous empirically obtained variables. In despite of this aim, some scientific descriptions of real world structures are difficult to visualize due to their dimensional complexity. This new book considers two such structures, the structure of personality lexicon and the structure of adaptive ability of the sleep-wake cycle.

Contents:

Introduction: geometry and applications of the spherical cube model

Spherical cube representation of the structure of sleep-wake adaptability

Taxonomy of chronotypes, trototypes and somnotypes: history and state of the art

Three-dimensionality of the structure of sleep-wake adaptability

Validation of the sleep-wake adaptability scales predicted by the spherical cube model

Spherical cube representation of the structure of personality lexicon

Taxonomy of personality traits and emotional states: history and state of the art

Three-dimensionality of the cross-culturally universal structure of personality lexicon

Evolutionary psychological perspectives on the spherical cube model of personality lexicon

Conclusion: a general approach to uncovering spherical cube structures.
