The study of personality development concerns the origins and stability of individual differences from infancy to old age. Key issues revolve around the kinds of questions that perennially capture human attention (Block & Block, 2006a) and generate intense debate both within the field of psychology and beyond. How well do childhood attributes foreshadow adult characteristics? How stable are adult personality attributes? What processes account for stability and change? Are interventions designed to produce lasting personality change possible and feasible? These issues cut across subdisciplines within psychology—including clinical, developmental, and personality psychology—and unite psychologists with fellow social scientists from disciplines such as economics (eg, E. Ferguson, Heckman, & Corr, 2011) and sociology (eg, Conger & Donnellan, 2007). The objective of this chapter is to provide a summary of the existing literature that seeks to answer these sorts of questions and to identify some important avenues for future study. Our review is selective and emphasizes recent findings. Readers who desire more extensive reviews should consult one or more of the existing chapters on this topic published within the past 10 years (eg, Caspi & Shiner, 2006; Donnellan & Robins, 2009; Roberts, Donnellan, & Hill, 2013; Roberts, Wood, & Caspi, 2008). The chapter begins by tackling the thorny issue of defining the appropriate units for developmental study and discussing the challenges inherent in taking a developmental approach to the study of personality. It then distinguishes different types of personality stability and change and reviews current findings on these topics. It concludes by discussing the mechanisms and processes that produce personality stability and change and considers the broad implications of research in personality development.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
