Abstract

The study presents results of the longitudinal study of personality
development from adolescence to young adulthood. Eysenck's
Personality Questionnaire was administered to a sample of 262
participants in two measurement points. The mean age of participants
was 17.25 in the first measurement, and the test-retest
interval was exactly four years. Data was analyzed in order to estimate
the personality continuity and change at the phenotypic level.
First, the changes in mean scale scores were analyzed. The
significant decrease of neuroticism and lie scores were obtained
(p<.01), while extroversion scores decreased slightly (p<.05). Second,
individual differences were moderately stable for all scales.
The test-retest correlations were, respectively, .571, .595, .509, and
.509 for extroversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie scales.
