The method is to compare and analyze the psychology and behaviour of individuals or groups under different environmental conditions. By correlating observed psychological and behavioral differences with known accompanying environments, the relative roles of different variables in psychological and behavioral development can be probed.
Such methods are well developed in the clinical psychology. In the work with healthy people the use of these methods is rather narrow. Example: The program of personality measuring by A.F. Lazurski. Training qualified specialists in the field of research and diagnostics of psychological types is a particular problem.
Similarly, multiple methods are used in this approach to examine the differential effects (or lack thereof) caused by method specific variance. Scores could be correlated because they measure similar traits, or because they are based on similar methods, or both.
The semantic differential (SD) is a measurement scale designed to measure a person's subjective perception of, and affective reactions to, the properties of concepts, objects, and events by making use of a set of bipolar scales.
Method of constant stimuli: Stimuli of varying intensities are presented in random order to a subject. Intensities involve stimuli which are surely subthreshold and stimuli which are surely supra-threshold. For the creation of the series, the approximate threshold judged by a simpler method (i.e.: by the method of limits).
The differential outcomes effect (DOE) is a theory in behaviorism, a branch of psychology, that shows that a positive effect on accuracy occurs in discrimination learning between different stimuli when unique rewards are paired with each individual stimulus.

The differential susceptibility theory proposed by Jay Belsky [1] is another interpretation of psychological findings that are usually discussed according to the diathesis-stress model. Both models suggest that people's development and emotional affect are differentially affected by experiences or qualities of the environment.
