Mike, do you have an opinion about Costa & McCrae’s lower order traits and their likelihood/conditions regarding change? I live in Arkansas and do not have easy access to a library with the articles I need. Thanks. Angie Benham
Hi Angie. Apologies for taking so long to reply – I don’t check this blog often. Hope you still get this. I don’t know too much about how personality changes over time. My overall impression is that most traits are relatively stable over time and resistant to change.
I did come across this chapter recently: Stability and Change in Personality... Looks like you can read the whole chapter free even without a library account. Perhaps this can help. Hope it does, and best of luck with your research.
