Stability and Change in Consumer Traits: Evidence from a 12-Year Longitudinal Study, 2002–2013 (2015, methodology): “Robins et al. (2001) find that the percentage of college students who do not exhibit reliable change is 82.4% averaged across the Big Five factors, while we find that the percentage of respondents who do not exhibit reliable change averaged across the 11 consumer traits is 84.7%.”
A meta-analysis of dependability coefficients (test–retest reliabilities) for measures of the Big Five (2014, background): “It is well established that the Big Five of personality show pronounced developmental changes in childhood and adolescence but also during adulthood (Hopwood et al., 2011; Lucas & Donnellan, 2011; Roberts, Caspi, & Moffitt, 2001; Robins et al., 2001; Wortman et al., 2012).”
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): “Another restriction stems from the investigation of a disproportionate number of healthy and educated individuals (cf. Costa et al., 2000; Lüdtke et al., in press; Neyer & Lehnart, 2007; Roberts et al., 2002; Robins et al., 2001; Terracciano et al., 2005; Vaidya et al., 2002).”
Patterns of mean-level change in personality traits across the life course: a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. (2006, background): “Many studies have reported that individuals who remain in longitudinal studies tend to be female, more conscientious, and higher on measures of cognitive ability (e.g., Robins et al., 2001).”
Stability of self-esteem across the life span. (2003, methodology): “The most commonly used measure was the Rosenberg (1965) SelfEsteem Scale (20% used the original scale, 11% used an abbreviated version, and 6% used an adapted version), followed by the Coopersmith (1967) Self-Esteem Inventory (14%), the Global Self-Worth subscale of the Self-Perception Profile for C”
The personality‐identity interplay in emerging adult women: convergent findings from complementary analyses (2006, methodology): “Compared to previous studies focusing on this age range (e.g. Asendorpf &Wilpers, 1998; Robins et al., 2001), mean-level changes in personality were limited, with only Neuroticism evidencing some marginally significant decrease.”
Work experiences and personality development in young adulthood. (2003, background): “These normative developmental changes in personality functioning have been observed in multiple birth cohorts, in different western nations, using both longitudinal and cross-sectional research designs (Helson & Kwan, 2000; Helson & Moane, 1987; McCrae et al., 1999; McGue, Bacon, & Lykken, 1993; Rob”
A contemplated revision of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (2004, methodology): “A comparison of the NEO-FFI values with the norms shows that the High School sample is somewhat lower in A and C than college age norms, probably because A and C begin to increase in the years after high school (Robins et al., 2001).”
Capturing ruminative exploration: Extending the four-dimensional model of identity formation in late adolescence (2008, methodology): “Adjustment Self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965). This questionnaire was translated into Dutch by Van der Linden, Dijkman, and Roeders (1983). A sample item reads ‘‘I feel that I have a number of good qualities’’.”
The impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurship skills and motivation (2010, background): “…– on average – when people are 30years old and they develop considerably during young adulthood, i.e., the college period (Roberts et al., 2001; Robins et al., 2001).8 Moreover, since the the Escan is a test based on the subject’s self-assessment, some of the measured traits may also be…”
