Talk:Personality development

message: I think this article could be improved with a few grammar edits. Several sentences could use a comma or two so they don't seem too wordy. There are also quite a few vague statements that could be expanded upon. It said that personality changes "in meaningful ways throughout the lifespan" but did not explain in what ways it changes. In the Evolutionary perspective section, opposing personality traits are said to be beneficial but it does not specify how. Which traits are opposing? Are they just talking about the Big 5 or the different levels or facets of each? How are beneficial? For a job? In social environments? I was also confused what was meant by a transactional influencing factor or if that was the gene-environment interaction.

replies: text: I noticed some changes that could be made to this article, beginning with the trait theory section. I believe it would be beneficial to add some additional information to this section and to link the Wikipedia article relating to trait theory. I would add information about what makes something a trait and examples of trait inventories used such as the big five traits. I would also add information from sources critical of the trait theory. I would cite sources showing the correlations seen in how traits change as a person grows progresses through life, likely including this source:(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656699922432?via%3Dihub) I intend to better show how trait theory relates to personality development. I also believe in the introduction where the five-factor personality model is referenced,the big five personality traits Wikipedia article should be linked. I intend to make these edits in around a week. (Ianh7 (talk) 05:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources that could be used for a rewrite:

Although this article would not be a proper source to use for the cited information in the article, it could be a "jumping off" point for improving the article. It describes various life stages in relation to personality development. An editor could search for research articles published in peer-reviewed journals to support this information and cite those research articles in the Wikipedia article. The perspectives section could likely be drastically expanded upon through addressing various perspectives. The evolutionary perspective section could likely be improved through the use of a greater number of reputable sources.

thread_title:  Potential Sources 

message: I am a student at Brigham Young University-Idaho studying psychology, and I think that this article has a lot of potential to be a very useful source of information but for now, it seems underdeveloped. Some of the ideas and theories listed could be better expounded upon. Adding some images or different media to help describe some of the theories could be beneficial in understanding them.
