Researchers Find Personality Changes In Older Adults

Researchers from Heidelberg University and collaborators report in Communications Psychology that an eight-week socio-emotional intervention produced similar increases in emotional stability and extraversion among younger (≈20s) and older adults (60–80) in a sample of 165 participants. The older group showed higher engagement, and trait improvements persisted up to 12 months, suggesting motivation-driven personality plasticity across adulthood.
