The underlying environmental analysis assumption was the existence of a neo-liberal society coupled with an individualistic culture. I hypothesize that the originally submitted framework is also influenced by individual personality traits which may be characterized via psychometric modeling thus, framework modifications may be in order.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1"> More details in the attached flyer.</p> <p class="p1"> </p>
