Abstract: Abstract Nowadays, dynamic S-P-R models, developed within personality research, seem to offer the chance for the development of a unitary research framework, one including individual and environmental factors, from both structural and dynamic levels of personality. Complexity concept is a fundamental element of convergence of the different existing theoretical and methodological approaches. From this expanded view, personality appears as an “hyper-complex” system of intra-individual circular interactions, and of recursive relations between internal and external factors, that develops and grows self-organizing. This approach takes into account, within a wide interpretative framework, the contributions from various humanistic and scientific disciplines.
