Developmental Stability of Temperament Characteristics: a Review
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been argued that personality features, such as temperament or traits, possess a certain level of developmental stability (Thomson, Winer & Goodwin, 2011). In this review, attempts are made to explain why temperament may, or may not, remain stable over time by addressing the influence of genetic, environmental and cultural factors on temperament and the interaction between such influences. This essay will also address the notion of temperamental stability in the context of different developmental stages.
