CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Not necessarily. Many of us tend to think of personality as being fixed and unchangeable-the part of you that is inherently who you are. But according to a recent study, while our early personalities may provide a baseline, they are surprisingly malleable as we age.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two seminal meta-analyses have shown that personality traits are relatively stable, but they also change, and they do so actually across the lifespan, meaning that there is no upper boundary. In fact, people aged 70 and older can still undergo pretty remarkable changes in their personality traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to several contemporary research, personality traits are generally stable and evolve at generally anticipated rates over a person’s life-stability in personality results from complex interactions between people and their social environments.

Detailed explanation-4: -In this table, the Big Five domains are ordered by their relative stability: from Extraversion (most stable) to Neuroticism (least stable).

Detailed explanation-5: -Psychologists call it “the maturity principle.” People become more extraverted, emotionally stable, agreeable and conscientious as they grow older. Over the long haul, these changes are often pronounced. Some individuals might change less than others, but in general, the maturity principle applies to everyone.
