ABSTRACT
Researchers studying personality development have been concerned with a variety of issues, one of them being the lack of consensus about the structure of adult personality. In the adult personality domain, however, many researchers have adopted the Five-Factor Model (FFM) as a guide to the structure of personality traits (e.g., Digman, 1990; Goldberg, 1990; John, 1989; McCrae & Costa, 1985). This model of adult personality has provided a set of adult dimensions that can serve as targets of temperament and personality dimensions assessed in infancy and childhood.
