Writing Assignment #7: Theories of Personality Start Assignment

The vast majority of personality theories make the argument that personality, by definition, is a stable characteristic that is enduring and changes very little across the lifetime, particularly for those who are in the age of young adulthood. But is personality really as stable as theories argue? For this assignment, re-examine some of the personality theories presented within the textbook (or outside the textbook from a peer-reviewed source) and provide an argument that personality may actually change after an individual reaches adulthood. Is there a common theme about the behaviors that may change with age according to the different theories to studying personality (e.g., trait, life narrative, etc.)? Or is there no consensus? There are no right or wrong answers, but do your best to provide a cogent argument that personality may not be a dispositional characteristic. Be sure to summarize specific theories presented in the chapter to support your argument.

Remember, your essay must be at least 250 words in length.
