In this article, the authors review personality research on age differences in heritability and propose the counter-intuitive hypothesis that, when developmental changes in heritability are found, heritability tends to increase. Research to date suggests that genetic involvement in adult personality is slight whereas personality change in childhood is governed substantially by genetic factors.
