Abstract | Four studies explored children's beliefs about the stability of positive traits among three groups. Findings indicated that younger children were more likely than older children or adults to believe that negative physical and psychological traits would change positively, that they could control the expression of a trait, and that extreme positive traits would be retained over development. All age groups distinguished between the malleability of biological and psychological traits. (JPB) |
