    The document is about a study that examined personality traits in midlife adults. It found that personality traits showed general stability over time during midlife. However, life experiences like marriage and having children led to small changes in traits like conscientiousness and openness. Personality also continued to mature intrinsically in areas like impulse control through midlife. Overall, the study suggests personality is fairly stable in midlife but can be influenced somewhat by major life events and continued intrinsic maturation.
