Inhaltsangabe

Bringing together prominent scholars, this authoritative volume considers the development of personality at multiple levels--from the neuroscience of dispositional traits to the cultural shaping of life stories. Illustrated with case studies and concrete examples, the Handbook integrates areas of research that have often remained disparate. It offers a lifespan perspective on the many factors that influence each individual's psychological makeup and examines the interface of personality development with health, psychopathology, relationships, and the family. Contributors provide broad-based, up-to-date reviews of theories, empirical findings, methodological innovations, and emerging trends.

CHAPTER 1

The Emergence of Personality

Dan P. McAdams


How do we become who we are? This is the question of personality development. If there is a more compelling question in all of psychological science, I cannot think of it.

The phrase "who we are" pertains to personality itself, which may be conceived as those socially consequential features of a person's psychological makeup that distinguish him or her from other human beings — the psychological differences that make the biggest difference in adaptation to human life. The phrase "how do we become" pertains to development. How does a person's characteristic psychological makeup come to be? How does it emerge, how does it change, and in what ways does it — personality itself — demonstrate continuity over developmental time?

In this opening chapter for the Handbook of Personality Development, I consider the emergence of personality in two very different senses. The first is signaled by my opening question, the developmental question around which the Handbook is constructed. I argue that personality development may be usefully construed from three different standpoints. These are the standpoints of the person as (1) a social actor, (2) a motivated agent, and (3) an autobiographical author (McAdams, 2015a, 2015b; McAdams & Olson, 2010). Each standpoint corresponds to a line of personality development running across the human life course, from infancy through old age. This tripartite conception of personality development provides an organizing framework for the Handbook.

The second sense of emergence refers to the emergence of personality studies as a legitimate and powerful intellectual movement in psychological science. Personality psychology has endured a conflicted history within the broad discipline of psychology. While all fields of study are shaped by their history, personality psychology has an especially notable story to tell, I think, for the field has struggled mightily over the past 40 years to emerge from a difficult past. Let's just say that, beginning in the 1960s, personality psychology went through a tumultuous adolescence, filled with Sturm und Drang (Barenbaum & Winter, 2008; McAdams, 1997). And the field still bears the psychological scars to prove it. While some observers of this history argue that trauma ultimately produced resilience (Kenrick & Funder, 1988), the insecurities and confusions that plagued the field during its protracted adolescence for decades made it nearly impossible to address seriously the topic of personality development. In a nutshell, it was extraordinarily difficult to think systematically about how personality itself might develop when it was not clear what personality itself was, or even if such a thing existed.

Personality psychology finally emerged as a mature and confident scientific discipline...
