Personality development: stability and change. (2005, background): “Second, the level of continuity in childhood and adolescence is much higher than originally expected (Lewis 2001), especially after age 3.”
A Five-Factor Theory Perspective (2002, background): “Twenty years ago, in fact, a majority of psychologists would probably have said that it was correct (many still would; see Lewis, 2001).”
Patterns of mean-level change in personality traits across the life course: a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. (2006, background): “One position, harkening back to Mischel (1968), was that personality traits did not exist and therefore could not develop (Lewis, 2001).”
Trait emotional intelligence, conflict communication patterns, and relationship satisfaction (2008, background): “Alternatively, another school of thought sees personality stability as very low, and argues that personality is largely the result of contextual influences (Lewis, 2001).”
Personality Trait Development in Adulthood (2012, background): “Lewis, 1999, 2001 ), especially after age 3. Although childhood character is by no means fate, there are striking continuities that point to the importance of childhood temperament and the effects of cumulative continuity from childhood through adulthood (Caspi, 2000).”
The Power of Personality: The Comparative Validity of Personality Traits, Socioeconomic Status, and Cognitive Ability for Predicting Important Life Outcomes (2007, background): “The idea that personality traits are the validity weaklings of the predictive panoply has been reiterated in unmitigated form to this day (e.g., Bandura, 1999; Lewis, 2001; Paul, 2004; Ross & Nisbett, 1991).”
A meta-analysis of the five-factor model of personality and academic performance. (2009, background): “However, factor structure and construct validity are less consistent for younger children’s self-assessments than for adults and improve with age (Allik, Laidra, Realo, & Pullman, 2004; Lewis, 2001).”
A comparison of behaviour in test and in everyday life: evidence of three consistent boldness-related personality traits in dogs (2005, background): “This brings variation between different owners and their opinions into the data, which may contribute to the low correlation coefficients (see Lewis, 2001, for a discussion of this issue in human personality research).”
TARGET ARTICLE: Does the Positive Psychology Movement Have Legs? (2003, unknown): “This became evident in a recent debate in Psychological Inquiry between Lewis (2001) and Caspi and Roberts (2001).”
