About this video:
How much do you really change between high school and retirement? This "Deep Dive" episode explores one of the longest longitudinal studies in psychology. By tracking over 1,700 people from 1960 to 2010, researchers investigated whether our personalities remain stable or evolve over 50 years. The discussion covers the "Maturity Principle"—the tendency for people to become more conscientious, agreeable, and emotionally stable as they age—while also revealing that our "rank-order" personality (how we compare to our peers) remains surprisingly consistent.
