Do comparative self-appraisals during young adulthood predict adult personality?

Article Abstract:

The effects of comparative self-appraisals during young adulthood on the personality development of graduates from the University of North Carolina were analyzed. Subjects made their first self-appraisals in 1966. In 1986, they were again asked to complete the NEO Personality Inventory and M. Rosenberg's self-esteem measure. Results showed that subjects who made positive comparative appraisals of themselves in 1966 reported a high level of self-esteem in middle adulthood. However, subjects who had negative ratings of themselves in 1966 reported having negative self-esteem in 1986.
