Personality and Change
Our early years bring a host of changes that shape our personalities. But what happens in adulthood? Are we the same people at age 70 that we were at age 30, or do our personalities keep changing over time? In this hour of Science Friday, we'll delve deep into the psyche to ask, "How stable is personality?"
