personality theory, next to the role of genetics within personality, and then it ends with a statement on the existence of personality. I think that if the main focus of this article is personality change, then we should stick to describing key concepts regarding personality change within the introductory paragraph. I would include some information regarding the different measurements we can use to measure personality change and also why an understanding of personality change across time can be useful for improving our own understanding of personality development.

with a statement about how personality can change and how we see personality changes throughout our lifespan. Talking about the research done on the linear change in stability of personality from from age 14-74 would be a good point to talk about as an opener to the conversation on the second paragraph. I think it is important to show right away that yes personality can change and it does change and showing that thru the use of stability of personality traits would be a good way to look at it.

thing is gender. You switch back and forth between using "he" and "she" for examples. The last paragraph of the first section also looks like it could fit with the second section. I would try to have less overlap between the sections. Maybe just combine them. Or the social roles section can be a subsection of
Personality Exists. I'll try to add more wikilinks. Good luck!

moment-to-moment and day to day variations on personality attributes people's personalities are variegated and are not be conceptualized through bipolar characterizations (e.g. extraversion vs introversion). Rather people oscillate between the two extremes of a trait. The pattern of this oscillation
752:
The overall structure of the article could use some work as well. I think that some of the subject headings are in the wrong order and they should be moved accordingly so that the readers will not get lost as information shifts from one subject to another and then back again. For example the subject
658:
To non-psychologists, the term "personality change" refers to significant departures from expected moods and behaviours in given contexts. For example a spouse who used to be loving but becomes generally more anxious or angry following an accident involving a blow to the head. This is very different
905:
While reading this article, I noticed a plethora of grammatical and punctuation errors. There is a misplaced period in the very first sentence of the article. The way the sentences are delivered is confusing and sticky. The lead should also be improved because that's typically the most that is read
716:
I believe the first two paragraphs can be removed entirely, as they are talking in-depth about a different topic; personality rather than personality changes. I believe a link to the personality page would be sufficient. The third paragraph uses rather objective language as well, such as "there are
638:
Oscillation sounds as much like bullshit to me as bipolar characterizations, assuming that an oscillation is defined as going from positive to negative or vice versa. In terms of trait expression, I'd need some convincing that a person can't slide down the scale a bit, slide a bit further, move up,
585:
So I think one of the key things that got you the essay tag is your opening paragraph--it doesn't really explain what personality change is, how it's measured, why it happens, or why psychologists argue about it (laypeople intuitively know that people change because they see it in themselves, their
731:
I also think that the first two paragraphs are not really needed when they can just be easy replaced with a link to the personality page. Any person looking for personality changes will most likely be familiar with what personality is or come from that page. I think the introduction should open up
611:
I think the above review is pretty solid for what could help improve. I think the biggest is the language. Along with interpersonal and intrapersonal, I think you should explain mean level and rank-order change. I also tried to add more wikilinks, but I think you're going to need more. Another
748:
I think that the overview at the start of this article needs some work. The flow of information is clunky and it seems to jump from topic to topic rather than introducing the key concepts of personality change. It seems to jump from a description of personality to personality change, then to
696:
For starters I would make the article easier to read by using more precise and putting things more into layman's terms. Second talk more about how to change personality, or how people attempt to do so. This doesn't really give anyone insight on the process of theories of personality change.
545:
I haven't finished reading this article yet, but I see how this was tagged as being like a personal reflection. I think you can take out the first 2 sentences because they don't talk about "Personality changes", they're just making it sound pretty. I'll get to the rest of your article soon.
508:
We need to make sure that we are defining everything in the most understandable way possible so that readers can best comprehend what they are reading. Something like the word "personality" even needs a definition. Make sure bigger words are being defined and/or explained please!
939:
589:
In general, I think simplifying your language will help. I think there are also a few instances of jargon that are unclear to people who aren't part of the field (e.g. I think you should spell out what intra- and interindividual differences are).
586:
friends, and their families). Additionally, I think you should clarify more about states vs. traits and how states turn into traits over time, because I think you touched on it, but it wasn't necessarily apparent if you don't know how that works.
524:
I added a definition and example for the word "personality" in the very first sentence. The lead should clarify any big words and concepts that will be discussed throughout the article so that the readers can keep up with what is taking place.
786:
465:
593:
I think you should also add a section about interventions that contribute to personality change and the consequences of changing (e.g. how being instructed to act assertive increases state extraversion, which increases positive affect).

bound to be many differences and changes that confuse people." The third paragraph may need to be more concise, as personality changes are not mentioned for the first time on the page until the third sentence.

heading "The Impact of Social Roles" should not come before the heading "How does a personality change". If anything "The Impact of Social Roles" should be a sub-heading of "How does a
