Influence of developmental rate on behavioral personality forming
SCHMIDTMAJEROVÁ, Eva
The aim of this thesis was to empirically examine one of the theories regarding the laws of intraspecific variability in animal behavior, which assumes that differences in behavior are directly related to individual differences in the rate of growth. One of our most common rodents, common vole (Microtus arvalis) was chosen as a model species, mainly because lots of previous studies on this species have demonstrated, among other things, presence of consistent differences in behavior.

The development of an expression of personality traits: the common vole (\kur{Microtus arvalis}) study
URBÁNKOVÁ, Gabriela
The aim of this study was investigate the development of behaviour of common vole in usually used personality test - Open Field test. This study also used a new behavioural approach ? behavioural reaction norms - to investigate the relationship among personality traits, behavioural plasticity and body weight and chosen social characteristic. There were found the effects of adult body weight and litter size on individual behavioural plasticity and also the negative correlation between personality traits and behavioural plasticity, signaling the different level of habituation dependent on personality traits.

Characteristics of the Personality and Social Mobility
Bariekzahyová, Tereza ; Šafr, Jiří
We assess differences in personality traits (extroversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness), self-esteem and locus of control among distinct types of intergenerational mobility trajectories and effect of volition at the elementary school (net of socioeconomic status and cultural capital of the family of origin) on status and specific mobility trajectories: reproduction (staying at the bottom) vs. upward mobility from working class. Datasets from representative surveys are analysed: ISSP 2009 (age 18–87) and Distinction and Values 2008 (age cohort 30–34).

Stability or change?
Hřebíčková, Martina
In this review study three different views concerning the development of personality across the life course are discussed. 1) Contextual approach leads to the conclusion that an analysis of behavior in context may be the best way to understand personality development. 2) Arguments that personality becomes stable in adulthood and that individual differences in personality traits are fixed by age 30 are presented. 3) As well arguments for change and continuity in personality development are mentioned. Personality traits do not become fixed at certain age in adulthood and retain the possibility of change even into old age.
