Abstract

Central to the discussion of how to intervene upon antagonism when it interferes with daily life is whether the trait is relatively stable or may change with time. The current stability examines the topic of stability and change in antagonism, by first discussing what is meant by stability and change, and then describing the "normative" trajectories for antagonism across the lifespan. Next we discuss potential future directions for research on stability and change in antagonism, focusing on the need for research into both adolescent development and major life events as catalysts for change. Throughout the chapter, we consider the utility of different theoretical models of personality development for understanding whether and why antagonism changes across lifespan.
