Personality predictors of successful development in adulthood: a 50-year longitudinal study
Original language description
The aim of the study was to predict both adaptive psychological functioning (personal well-being) and adaptive social functioning (career stability) in middle adulthood based on behaviors observed in the toddlerhood and personality traits measured in adolescence. Eighty-three (83) people have participated in an ongoing longitudinal study started in 1961 (46 % men, 54 % women). The best predictor of all well-being indicators proved to be extraversion measured at the age of 16 years; in case of self-efficacy it was also childhood disinhibition. Extraversion predicts also career stability: changeable career is more frequent in extraverts, while unstable career is more frequently seen in introverts. The authors believe that the identified relationships could be explained by the concept of viability, a tendency towards an active adaptation to life conditions.
