Personality development from childhood to young adulthood: genes versus environment
The present study aims at investigating the Five Factor Theory and the Social Investment Theory as explanatory models of normative personality development, using 14-year longitudinal twin data. Specifically, we will investigate how much of the variance in personality development during the transition from childhood to adulthood is attributable to genes versus environment.
