This influential work examines how enduring dispositions or traits affect the process of aging and shape each individual's life course. From two well-known authorities in the field, the volume is grounded in a growing body of empirical evidence. Critically reviewing different theories of personality and adult development, the authors explain the logic behind the scientific assessment of personality, present a comprehensive model of trait structure, and examine patterns of trait stability and change after age 30, incorporating data from ongoing cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Written in a clear, jargon-free style, this book is an ideal text for advanced students and a timely reference for researchers and clinicians.

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this influential work argues for the enduring stability of personality across adult development. It also offers a highly accessible introduction to the five-factor model of personality. Critically reviewing different theories of personality and adult development, the authors explain the logic behind the scientific assessment of personality, present a comprehensive model of trait structure, and examine patterns of trait stability and change after age 30, incorporating data from ongoing cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The second edition has been updated throughout with the authors' new findings, ideas, and interpretations, and includes a new chapter on cross-cultural research. It culminates in an additional new chapter that presents a comprehensive theory of personality grounded in the five-factor model.

The development of personality in adulthood remains a topic of debate with direct implications for the conceptualisation of personality traits (McCrae & Costa, 1999; Roberts et al., 2008). However, with notable exceptions, comprehensive longitudinal investigations of the development of personality traits across a broad range of the adult life span are surprisingly rare. Through four systematic longitudinal investigations, the present thesis investigates the change and stability in the Big Six personality traits – Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness to Experience, and Honesty- Humility – in a nationally representative panel study of adult New Zealanders. Study 1 demonstrated the very high stability of the six traits, thus confirming the prediction of high temporal stability of personality traits. This study also provided the crucial test of the test-retest reliability of the personality scales used throughout this thesis. Study 2 demonstrated the systematic variability in the stability of personality traits across the adult life span. That is, personality traits tend to stabilise across younger adulthood, reach peak stability in middle age (i.e., late 40’s and early 50’s), and systematically destabilise thereafter. The findings of Study 3 indicated remarkable consistency in personality traits associated with a major natural disaster (namely, the 2010/2011 Earthquakes in Canterbury, New Zealand). The only meanlevel change from before to after the earthquakes was a small decrease in Emotional Stability (or an increase in Neuroticism) among those affected by the event. Finally, Study 4 investigated normative patterns of mean level change in personality traits and identified distinct developmental trajectories for the different traits with changes occurring across the entire adult life span. Collectively, these studies paint an interesting picture of both stability and change in personality traits, highlighting the need for an integrated perspective on personality development – one that incorporates both the intrinsic stability of the construct and early development, as well the continuing process of change.

Using three broad theoretical perspectives (early-formation theory, stage theory, and dialectic analysis), Personality Development in Adulthood provides highly contrasting answers to these and other questions. Each perspective is described, the methods used to evaluate them are considered, and the quality of supportive evidence is examined. The book then applies concepts and findings from each perspective to numerous aspects of adulthood: occupational and career shifts, sex-role development, marriage and other intimate relationships, sexual behavior, changes in values, and attitudes toward death and dying. Examples of personality in such diverse figures as Luther and Nixon serve to illuminate and clarify the various methodologies presented.

This book is the first to bring together researchers in individual differences in personality and temperament to explore whether there is any unity possible between the temperament researchers of infancy and childhood and the major researchers in adult personality. Prior to the workshop which resulted in this volume, the existing literature seemed to document a growing consensus on the part of the adult personality researchers that five major personality dimensions -- the "Big Five" -- might be sufficient to account for most of the important variances in adult individual differences in personality. In contrast to this accord, the literature on child and infant individual differences seemed to offer a wide variety of opinions regarding the basic dimensions of difference in personality or temperament. The editors believed that they could encourage researchers from both the adult and child areas to consider the importance of a lifespan conceptualization of individual differences by discussing their research in terms of a continuity approach. Written by some of the most distinguished scholars from Great Britain, continental Western Europe, and Eastern Europe as well as the United States and Canada, the chapters present a cross-cultural view of both adult personality and temperament in infancy and childhood. By sharing their recent data, techniques, and theoretical speculations, the chapter authors communicate the research enthusiasm engendered by the growing consensus of the adult "Big Five" as well as the exciting prospects of an integrative program of research from infancy to adulthood that will clarify and consolidate what is now a disparate set of methods, theory, and findings across the lifespan. The editors suggest that this volume will have considerable heuristic value in stimulating researchers to conceptualize their work in developmental, lifespan approaches that will lead to a consolidation of individual differences research at every age.
