Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: A meta-analysis of 152 longitudinal studies involving more than 55,000 people showed a high level of consistency in personality traits at all ages. According to these findings, traits are consistent over the life span, reaching the highest level after age 50.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Theorists such as Cattell, Allport, and Erikson viewed childhood as important but agreed that personality could be modified in later years. Some theorists suggested that personality development is ongoing in adolescence, whereas Jung, Maslow, Erikson, and Cattell viewed middle age as a time of major personality change.
