Abstract

We outline three main ways how personality differences can affect social functioning and social structure. By highlighting the broad and significant consequences that personality differences can have for social processes, our article might serve as a starting point for a research focus that aims at a systematic understanding of these consequences.

Keywords: coordination; individual differences; social competition; social network; social responsiveness; swarm intelligence.
