Personality development is the relatively enduring pattern of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that distinguish individuals from one another. [1] The dominant view in the field of personality psychology today holds that personality emerges early and continues to change in meaningful ways throughout the lifespan. [2] Adult personality traits are believed to have a basis in infant temperament , meaning that individual differences in disposition and behavior appear early in life, possibly even before language or conscious self-representation develop. [3] The Five Factor Model of personality has been found to map onto dimensions of childhood temperament, [4] suggesting that individual differences in levels of the “big five” personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) are present from young ages.
