facilitation. He completed six experiments that looked at how individuals performed in social isolation and compared results to how those individuals completed the task in a group. Allport found that individuals perform better when in a group setting as opposed to completing the same/similar task alone. "Personality Traits: Their Classification and Measurement" Floyd Allport and his brother Gordon Allport collaborated on this 1921 paper which outlined the dimensions of the personality assessments that they used while studying personality. They provided information of how they arrived at these classifications and brief examples of what the manifestations of the traits will be in the actual person. The traits were: intelligence, temperament (emotional breadth and strength), self-expression (extro-introversion, ascendance-submission, expansion-reclusion, compensation, insight and self-evaluation) and sociality. The two brothers worked for years to couple personality and social psychology. "The Structuring of Events: Outline of a General Theory With Applications to Psychology" Allport then shows how, when you add something other than a qualitative statement, it is much more clear as to what the circumstance is. Allport derived an equation that combined structural kinematics/geometry (non-quantitative) and structural energics (quantitative). "The Observation of Societal Behaviors of Individuals" Allport focuses on the methodology of involving specific social stimulus that may or may not be presented. Allport described three ways in which societal behaviors may be analyzed, co-acting, reciprocal and co-reciprocal. He questions the definition of time, space, degrees of qualities because they represent large-scale behaviors and not individual traits or differences. Allport believes this method and the results will offer promise of a contribution of practical as well as theoretical value in human relationships. "Social Forces" "Social Forces" was published December 1927. In the nature of institutions section, Allport questions the term "institutions". He gives two examples; institutions can be given a group entitativity and a figure, or they can be simply human behavior broken down into sections. The institutions have three factions. A system is brought from the past, watching and sorting the system and then the accumulated tools used to sort and or observe the system. He makes the point that institutions are not valid to blame or say they can cause things. They may be used as a description but he wants it pointed out that they can be a hindrance to the sociological method. "Behavior and Experiment in Social Psychology" Social stimuli are the main factors in any experimental social psychological setting.
