Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that personality can be changed through therapy?

Yes. A 2017 systematic review of 207 intervention studies reports that therapy produces marked changes in personality trait measures, with emotional stability and extraversion changing most. Other items offer partial support, such as schema therapy reducing maladaptive schemas and a model treating traits as changeable through intervention.
