Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Five-Factor Theory posits that one's basic tendency for each of the five personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) is biologically rooted and stable, but how one characteristically expresses those traits can change over time. This allows for individual differences in personality development and expression over the lifespan. Option A is incorrect because Five-Factor Theory recognizes the role of biological factors in shaping personality. Option B is incorrect because characteristic adaptations are influenced by both internal and external factors. Option D is incorrect because personality processes are dynamic and can interact in complex ways over time.
