Goals to change personality traits: Concurrent links between personality traits, daily behavior, and goals to change oneself. (2014, background): “Researchers have extended this logic and argued that any behavioral changes that are sustained over a long enough timeframe may calcify into enduring personality trait change—perhaps through modifications to the epigenome (Burke, 2006; Magidson et al., 2012; Roberts & Jackson, 2008; Roberts et al., ”
Leader development and the dark side of personality. (2011, background): “Moreover, time and time again research has demonstrated that personality changes—and it typically changes for the better (Roberts et al. 2008).”
Integrating Personality Structure, Personality Process, and Personality Development (2017, background): “Alterations in personality structure can occur, however, if domain or facet traits or behaviors captured by single items develop at different rates or in different directions (Hülür, Ram, Willis, Schaie, & Gerstorf, 2015; Mõttus, Realo, Allik, Esko, Metspalu, & Johnson, 2015; Roberts et al., 2008).”
Personality Change: Implications for Organizational Behavior (2018, background): “Despite the general emphasis in contemporary personality theory on the fixity of traits, there is now considerable interest in trait change (Boyce et al., 2015; Roberts et al., 2008).”
What Accounts for Personality Maturation in Early Adulthood? (2015, background): “As illustrated in Figure 1, the normative gains lead to substantial mean-level shifts in these three Big Five personality traits, a pattern that has often been referred to as the maturity principle of personality development (Roberts et al., 2008).”
Personality development: continuity and change over the life course. (2010, unknown): “Factor analytic studies of personality ratings suggest that it is around this time that a clear five-factor structure begins to appear for dispositional traits (Roberts et al. 2008).”
Developmental Tasks as a Framework to Study Personality Development in Adulthood and Old Age (2014, background): “Received 12 July 2013 Revised 25 March 2014, Accepted 28 March 2014 behave (e.g. Roberts et al., 2008).”
Stability and change of personality across the life course: the impact of age and major life events on mean-level and rank-order stability of the Big Five. (2011, background): “combined into a transactional perspective (model of person-environment transactions; Roberts et al., 2008), which seems to describe personality development most appropriately.”
Job burnout: The contribution of emotional stability and emotional self‐efficacy beliefs (2018, unknown): “This effect attests to the malleability of personality traits depicted as individual potentials that need to be actualized (Roberts et al., 2008, p. 384).”
Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies—A Framework for Studying Personality Change (2020, background): “Consistent with the corresponsive principle (cf. Roberts et al., 2008), numerous studies have shown that environmental experiences—and even seemingly uncontrollable events such as accidents or job loss—are under some genetic influence (Kandler, Bleidorn, Riemann, Angleitner, & Spinath, 2012;…”
