Patterns and sources of adult personality development: growth curve analyses of the NEO PI-R scales in a longitudinal twin study.
TL;DR: Biometric extensions of growth curve models showed that 10-year stability and change of personality were influenced by both genetic as well as environmental factors, and findings suggest noticeable differences between traits with respect to the magnitude of genetic and environmental effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
What Drives Adult Personality Development? A Comparison of Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Evidence:
Jule Specht,Wiebke Bleidorn,Jaap J. A. Denissen,Marie Hennecke,Roos Hutteman,Christian Kandler,Maike Luhmann,Ulrich Orth,Anne K. Reitz,Julia Zimmermann +9 more
TL;DR: A growing number of empirical studies provide compelling evidence that personality traits change across the entire lifespan as discussed by the authors. But what initiates this continuing personality development and how does th e process of personality development start?
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality traits below facets: The consensual validity, longitudinal stability, heritability, and utility of personality nuances.
TL;DR: It is argued that these narrow personality characteristics constitute a valid level of the personality hierarchy and may be especially useful for providing a deep and contextualized description of the individual, but also for the prediction of specific outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left or right? Sources of political orientation: the roles of genetic factors, cultural transmission, assortative mating, and personality
TL;DR: Genetically informative analyses showed that political attitudes are genetically but not environmentally transmitted from parents to offspring and that a substantial proportion of this genetic variance can be accounted for by genetic variance in personality traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studying Changes in Life Circumstances and Personality: It's About Time
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that time needs to be considered explicitly in theories and empirical studies on personality development and discuss six notions on the role of time in personality development: people can differ before the event, change can be non-linear and discontinuous.
