Modghaddam mentioned about Allport's argument:" His argument was that psychologists should focus on personal dispositions, because only in this way can we arrive at an adequate understanding of individual personality." The weakness of idiographic is it's not generalize to wider populations. Every Individual are studied by a unique case. The nomothetic approach is predominant in Psychology research. It is based in general trends of populations and incorporated larger researches data from larger populations. Nomothetic has high generality and lead to a identification of universals, but idiographic have only a few of studies can be completed.
