Heyy, personally I think the topic of 'individual differences' would be the better topic as dissertations should have a clear and concise topic and point to make so choosing individual differences would narrow down your scope making it easier overall (if that makes sense!!)

Thank you so much! Im not sure if this makes a difference to your answer but we dont get to choose our specific project/research question for the topic we pick. we get given 2 or 3 options per topic and have to pick from those. Would you still say individual diffs is better?

No problem!! I'd still suggest just sticking with individual differences as the options are likely to be centred around various human behaviours, traits, abilities, etc. Making it far easier to narrow down your argument and maybe even led to a personalised approach
