Describe the Six Foci Model of adult personality and explain how it accounts for development.
What will be an ideal response?
The Six Foci Model combines three structural and three process aspects of personality to provide a more complete explanation of development in adulthood. The structural and process aspects of personality work in pairs to account for stability and change in personality during adulthood. Traits account for stability in personality and states account for change in personality. Personal action constructs include goals and motivation and self-regulatory processes direct the actions into specific domains accounting for differences in personality. The life story provides meaning to life and the self-narration accounts for how a narration changes to meet the needs of an audience accounting for the differences in one's self-concept of personality.
