In this dissertation I approach the question of why individuals differ from in each other in their behavioural dispositions from an interdisciplinary perspective that builds upon previous work from the disciplines of psychology and behavioural ecology. I review terminological and methodological differences between these two disciplines, integrate findings on ontogenetic development of personality differences in primates with a focus on aspects of behaviour genetics, and provide empirical results that allow a differentiated evaluation of the hypothesis that personality differences between humans are the result of a calibration to differences in physical appearance.
