Too close paraphrasing

edit

Text from : https://syllabus.byu.edu/uploads/b0cEWAOU57aJ.pdf (Evolutionary theories of personality) is way to close to the writting of our article. Some sentences obtained after copying a paragraph into google and the paragraph of our article:

Our article: potential proximate mechanisms governing personality structure, aspects of developmental environment should be expected to affect, the degree that individuals should be affected by different environments, and why personality traits are responsive to environmental modulation.

The source: personality differences develop and explain the proximate ('how it works') ... mechanisms governing personality structure; (c) what aspects of an individual's developmental environment should be expected to affect that individual; (d) how and to what degree individuals should be affected by different environments; and ...

Taking a look at other sources I have not found other problems(which of course does not mean they are not there), so it may indicate an unintentional mistake while paraphrasing the source.

Apologies for the mistake

Thank you for noticing that error, it was definitely poor paraphrasing. The sentence has been revised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psyc452-LChen (talkcontribs) 00:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
