Discussion 4

The assignment for this week from chapter 9 -11 is (Discussion post) 1 to 3 paragraphs (you can be informal with is assignment + you don’t have to write a references)

Attachment, temperament, Erikson's stages, trait theory, the Big Five - the chapter covered a lot of theories about how personality develops throughout the lifespan. These include developmental stages as well as factors, both inherited and environmental, that contribute to how we interact with the world. Considering the information in the chapter, which ideas support the notion of a stable personality? Which give more emphasis to environmental factors (e.g., caregiving) and life events? How do you use this information to make sense of the nature of personality development?
