In [[psychology]], theories of mental [[phenomena]] can propose discrete differences between [[individual]]s (e.g. everyone has certain [[personality]] traits and not others) or a continuum (e.g. everyone lies somewhere on a particular personality dimension). This can also apply to fields such as [[law]] or [[sociology]] or [[ethics]] in explaining or judging variation in human [[behavior]]. | In [[psychology]], theories of mental [[phenomena]] can propose discrete differences between [[individual]]s (e.g. everyone has certain [[personality]] traits and not others) or a continuum (e.g. everyone lies somewhere on a particular personality dimension).
