Extraversion level predicts perceived benefits from social resources and tool use

Abstract Social baseline theory states that there are differences in how humans integrate social resources into their economy of action when they face environmental demands. However, although several authors suggested that extraversion may be an indicator of the social baseline, no study has demonst...
