Facts and theories of adult development -- A trait approach to personality -- Measuring personality -- The search for growth or decline in personality -- Cross-cultural perspectives on personality and aging -- The course of personality development in the individual -- Stability reconsidered : qualifications and rival hypotheses -- A different view : ego psychologies and projective methods -- Adult development as seen through the personal interview -- A five-factor theory of personality -- The influences of personality on the life course.
Summary: An ideal text for advanced students and a timely reference for researchers and clinicians, this influential work examines how enduring dispositions or traits affect the process of aging and shape each individual's life course. In the process, it offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the Five-Factor Model of personality. From two well-known authorities in the field, the volume is grounded in a growing body of empirical evidence. Special attention is given to how research on the Five-Factor Model can contribute to the development of a comprehensive theory of personality.
