What is maturity in the eyes of Allport and the Big Five Theory?




Healthy personality development and well-being
As a rule, science regards the individual as a mere bothersome accident. Psychology, too, ordinarily treats him as something to be brushed aside so the main business of accounting for the uniformity of events can get under way…With the intention of supplementing this abstract portrait by one that is more life-like, a new movement within psychological science has gradually grown up. It attempts in a variety of ways and from many points of view to depict and account for the manifest individuality of mind. This new movement has come to be known in America as the psychology of personality. Allport provides an interesting history of the use of the term persona , including a set of definitions written by Cicero B. These and other definitions of persona represent a contradiction, that persona, or personality in psychological terms, is both something vital and internal and yet also something external and false.



What Are the Characteristics of a Healthy Person
One of the most interesting thing about human is the differences in characters and what make this differences are traits. Traits, according to Allport , is dynamic but also stable. While we have different traits from one another which contributes to the development of different personality; these individual traits are also stable in the sense of these traits may continue affecting our behaviors throughout our lifespan.
