INTRODUCTION
The debate over the continuity and change of personality traits across the lifespan is a
longstanding one in psychology, engaging scholars in discussions about the nature of
human personality and its development. While some have argued that personalities are
largely stable after a certain age, others claim that personalities continue to evolve
throughout life. The statement by Kail et al. (2019, p. 423) that "there is evidence that both
stability and change can be seen in personality trait development across the adult lifespan"
encapsulates the current consensus, acknowledging the complexity of personality
development. This essay engages with this debate, focusing on recent research to argue
for a nuanced understanding that incorporates both continuity and change.
