After reading Chapter 7, the assigned article, and watching the video for the week, please address the following: 1) Do you view yourself and more specifically your personality as a continuous state that has stayed primarily stable over time? Or do you feel that who you “are” or more specifically your “personality” changes as you grow and mature? In other words, if you feel that way, then you feel that who you truly are today is different from who you were 10 years ago and that you might indeed still become someone different 10 years from now. Elaborate on why you believe this to be the case. 2) How does your view of yourself and how your personality has or hasn’t changed over time line up with what the research states for the overall personality changes we see in people over the lifespan? Please bring in specific research discussed in chapter 7 that focuses on traits over time.
