Abstract
In this article, we give an overview of theoretical and empirical work on personality development and aging from a lifespan development perspective. We first introduce personality traits as units of analysis for this review. Then, we argue that the lifespan development perspective exhibits a helpful theoretical background for the scientific study of personality development. Specifically, we make the case that personality development is a lifelong process that is not completed at a specific age or life period. Furthermore, we give an overview of empirical research on personality trait development across the adult lifespan into old age by means of different types of change and stability.
