Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This approach uses narrative reports of people's lives and creates case studies to examine the effects of life experiences on personality, which is the definition of an idiographic approach. The other options, such as behavioural genetic and quantitative approaches, do not necessarily involve collecting narrative reports of people's lives or creating case studies. Nomothetic approach focuses on generalizing behavior across people as opposed to idiographic approach which is aimed at understanding behavior in a particular individual.
