      ab: A case is presented for regarding individual differences in planful behavior as a personality trait. Cognitive planning is discussed as a unique human ability, as one of the four processes comprising planning, arousal-attention, simultaneous, and successive coding of information. After discussing its roots in neuropsychology and cognitive psychology, we present some studies that link individual differences in planning tasks to locus of control, self-concept, and intrinsic motivation. Another study also shows that the use of proper strategies in a problem-solving situation is associated with good planners. In the concluding remarks we suggest that planning is a dynamic rather than a static trait of characterizing the holistic nature of activities of every individual. Improvement of planful behavior is discussed as a possibility dependent on the social and personal history of an individual. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
