Is it true that personality is dependent on life experiences even into adulthood?
Yes. Empirical longitudinal research consistently shows that personality traits continue to develop and change in response to life experiences, transitions, and environmental events throughout adulthood.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
