ISSID meaning in Academic & Science ?

The International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (ISSID) is a scientific society founded in 1983 that fosters research on the measurement, structure, dynamics and bio-social bases of individual differences in personality, intelligence, attitudes, mood, motivation and cognitive abilities. Its first president (and one of its founders) was Hans Eysenck. Members of the society investigate the major dimensions of individual differences in the context of experimental, physiological, clinical, medical, genetic, statistical, and social psychology and their assessment, together with their applications. Membership is open to students, and to researchers/practitioners who have published creditable research in the area of individual differences, with reduced rates for members from economically disadvantaged countries.

ISSID holds Personality and Individual Differences (PAID) as its official scientific journal and hosts a conference on individual differences every other year. The next conference will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the week of July 17th, 2023. The current president (2021-2023) is Colin Cooper from Queen's University, Belfast.
