Alexander Weiss is an Honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in comparative psychology. He initially focused on learning and dishabituation in sea anemones and taste aversion in leopard sharks during his undergraduate and master's studies. Transitioning to a PhD, he became interested in personality traits in chimpanzees. His research centers on individual differences in personality, well-being, and intelligence across nonhuman primates and other animals, including deer, dolphins, and dogs. He remains committed to exploring animal learning, ethology, and behavioral ecology. Weiss has authored several significant publications, including investigations into the links between personality and lifespan in chimpanzees, and the impact of personality on subjective well-being in common marmosets. His works contribute to the understanding of behavioral traits and health inequalities in both human and animal populations.
