Development of Character Constancy of Self and Other.
Rotenberg, Ken J.
Child Development, v53 n2 p505-15 Apr 1982
Two experiments were designed to investigate among kindergarten through third-grade children the development of character constancy -- the belief that other's or self's personality characteristics are stable across time and do not change despite changes in appearance. It is proposed that character constancy of self and other is a product of both cognitive and social development. (Author/RH)
