Explanation:

According to Caspi and Roberts (1999) there are three factors that contribute to the continuity (or stability) of the personality throughout the life course: Genetic influences, environmental influences and person-environment transactions throughout the life course. Reactive transactions explains how people integrate into the environment through their ability to manage environmental information, they occur when different individuals have a different human response to the same physical environment, that is, they interpret and react to the same environment in a different way. Reactive transactions allow people to extract from the objective environment a subjective psychological environment, which shapes the development of their personality, people will interpret their experiences in the most consistent way with their personality and self-concept.
