Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Numerous research shows that personality trait is stable until the person’s lifespan. Yet, there are some traits that be altered during the lifetime, such kind of trait are age-related influences. These traits can develop them during the ageing process. For example, the child who is shy during their childhood can develop a personality trait to be normal and overcome their shyness during their adulthood like at their age of 40’s. Further, the big five theory like agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism can alter the person’s personality trait slowly over time. For example, the old age people seem to be more agreeable when compared with their adulthood.
