Change in personality over a lifetime
Researchers believe that personality changes as an individual ages, but it depends on the definition of change. There are two very specific types of change that researchers tend to focus on: rank-order change and mean-level change. There are different factors and mechanisms that lead to change in personality. There are also many different ways to measure personality and some traits tend to change while some traits tend to stay stable.
==Influences==
The opposite of change in personality would be consistency in personality. There are various things that influence whether or not an individual's personality changes. Time is a factor in personality change. There is an increase in consistency of a trait as age increases. However, personality does not stop changing at a specific age. Biological and social transitions in life may also be a factor for change. Biological transitions are stages like puberty or a woman giving birth to her first child. Social transitions might be changes in social roles like becoming a parent or working at a first job. These life transitions do not necessarily cause change, but they may be reasons for change. One theory says that whether or not these life transitions cause personality change is based on whether the transition was expected based on age or was unforeseen. The events that are expected will cause personality change because those events have common scripts. However, events that are unexpected will give prominence to the traits that already exist for the individual.〔 Historical context also effects personality change. Major life events can lead to changes in personality that can persist for more than a decade. A longitudinal study followed women over 30 years and found that they showed increases in individualism. This may have been due to the changes that were occurring in the country at the time.
