Developmental Psychology on Intelligence - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 169 Intelligence/Developmental psychology/Ackerman: There have been a few studies that have followed the same individuals from birth to adult ages that have examined both personality traits and intellectual growth and change. These older studies (e.g., Bayley 1968(1); Haan 1963(2); Kagan, Sontag, Baker and Nelson 1958)(3) have all indicated that increases in relative standing on broad measures of intellectual ability during development are associated with positively-oriented personality traits, such as nAch (need for achievement), higher levels of coping, and lower levels of defence mechanisms. In contrast, individuals who show declines in relative intelligence levels tested to be more hostile, negativistic and have higher levels of traditionalism. >Brain development, >Cognitive development, >Learning, >Learning theory, >Personality traits, >Performance. 1.
