Personality in Adulthood: A Five-Factor Theory Perspective
Abstract
"Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this book offers an up-to-date statement of current knowledge on personality and adult development. Presented are compelling updates and refinements to the argument advanced in the original volume - that personality traits remain remarkably stable after age 30, exerting a significant influence on individual adaptation and the life course. Describing the results of ongoing cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, Robert R. McCrae and Paul T. Costa, Jr., examine how traits can best be conceptualized and measured and trace their stability over time and across cultures. In the process, they provide a highly accessible introduction to the Five-Factor Model of personality." "The volume begins with a critical review of theories of adult development, focusing on the central question of whether personality changes or remains the same as the individual grows older
