Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The life-span perspective emphasizes how people continue to develop and change throughout their lives, and that multiple factors beyond childhood experiences contribute to adult personality traits. This includes genetic factors, cultural experiences, and life events that occur later in life. In contrast, the psychosocial and psychoanalytic perspectives both emphasize the significance of early childhood experiences in shaping personality. The intuitionist perspective is not a recognized psychological perspective.
