Question 2 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

Which of the following statements concerning the debate between personality change and stability is not correct?

Answer
A
Research indicates that some aspects of personality change while other aspects appear to remain stable.
B
Changes in personality are found throughout childhood and in adolescence.
C
Personality is more malleable before one reaches adulthood.
D
An infant’s personality provides a solid basis for determining what their personality will be later.

Explanation

Research suggests personality develops over time: some traits show stability, while others change, especially during childhood and adolescence. Personality is generally more malleable before adulthood. An infant’s personality does not reliably determine their later personality, so the claim that it provides a solid basis for predicting it is not correct.
