Studies find that as people age neuroticism disappears and agreeableness and conscientiousness increase. As people age, they become less emotionally volatile and more attuned to social demands and social rules. These characteristics allow older adults to maintain and regain levels of well-being in the face of loss, threats, and challenges in life, common occurrences in late life. Studies also show a decrease in openness to new experiences with increasing age.
