In some studies, the age-related change of the personality traits and of the relationships between personality traits and adaptation.

本研究では，日常的によく見られる癖としての行動がパーソナリティに関連することを明らかにした。また自尊感情が近年になるほど平均値が低下傾向にあることや，また多くのパーソナリティ特性が近年ネガティブで情緒不安定的な傾向を示すことを明らかにした。これらの研究知見は，パーソナリティが私たちの身近な行動や環境に密接にかかわっており，我々をとりまく社会状況の変化によって，パーソナリティのもつ意味や機能が変わる可能性があることを示唆する。
