Recent longitudinal and cross-sectional aging research has shown that personality traits are both consistent over time and yet change systematically in adulthood. In this paper, we review the evidence for personality trait continuity, mean-level change in personality traits, as well as individual differences in change across the life span. We then discuss several reasons for why personality would continue to change in adulthood and the implications of those changes for human capital and social policy.
