Bosch, Leslie A.; Card, Noel A. – Journal of Adolescence, 2012
Identity formation is an essential developmental challenge associated with adolescence ([17], [20] and [21]).

Focusing on studies (K = 62) that…

In a response to comments by P. T. Costa, Jr., and R. R.

The authors agree with Costa and McCrae that new personality trait models that provide an accurate lower order structure…

Fraley, R. Chris; Roberts, Brent W. – Psychological Review, 2005
In contemporary psychology there is debate over whether individual differences in psychological constructs are stable over extended periods of time. The authors argue that it is impossible to resolve such debates unless researchers focus on patterns of stability and the developmental mechanisms that may give rise to them. To facilitate this shift…

Concluded that explanations are needed for children's inaccurately learned…

Hyde, Janet Shibley – American Psychologist, 2005
The differences model, which argues that males and females are vastly different psychologically, dominates the popular media. Here, the author advances a very different view, the gender similarities hypothesis, which holds that males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables. Results from a review of 46 meta-analyses…
