Question

The _____ model of personality development states that with time and age people become more adept at interacting with their environment in ways that promote increased stability in personality.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cumulative Personality

Explanation:

Personality development is the relatively enduring pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that distinguish individuals from one another.

According to Cumulative Personality Model, as people age, they become more adept at interacting with their environment in ways that support personality stability. People tend to display more positive traits such as conscientiousness, and decreases in negative traits such as neuroticism. They tend to become more agreeable, more responsible, more emotionally stable, and their personalities improve. The mechanisms that promote cumulative personality include the environment, genetic factors, psychological functioning, and person-environment transactions.  Interactions between genetic predisposition and the environment are a major factor in personality development.The heritability of a trait may change depending on an individual’s environment and/or life events.
