Individuals are very different in their social behaviour. In this Perspective Kuper and colleagues examine interdisciplinary evidence for why this is and what it means for our understanding of individual and collective human behaviour.
An interdisciplinary linked-lives approach to individual differences in social behaviour - Nature Human Behaviour
Individuality in social behaviour is of interest across several academic fields, yet there are many barriers to interdisciplinary efforts. In this Perspective, Kuper et al propose an integrative, interdisciplinary approach, and detail their recommendations for researchers interested in this topic.

Very excited that our proposed interdisciplinary approach to individuality in social behaviour is now published at Nature Human Behaviour!
