of age. The summary in the library was the best match for the topic of adult social development.
The thesis of the article is demonstrating long-term effects of social interactions on adults and the impact it has on people.
The article starts with studies done by other researchers and does a great job of citing the source material. The study goes into further detail by focusing on individual traits over an 8 year period and charting those traits for review. The researchers include in the traits from late adolescence to adult hood to illustrate a broader view. The research then moves to focus on personality development across adult hood. The research focus on the influences relationships have on adult personality development, especially intimate relationships. Thereafter, the study enters details on the methods in which the research was conducted and how the information was gathered. The research method was well documented and seems to have been conducted in the proper fashion for accurately gathering statistics from a dynamic group. The tables listed display information that is appropriate and relevant. The researchers were able to also identify four transition groups over the course of the study which helped to create the end results of the study. The end results summarized and confirmed long term effects of social interactions on the adult stage of development. The results offered specifics on different traits and the research results for each trait. The article also illustrated the results in tables and charts and referenced specific results within the
table.
Given the thoroughness and attention to detail in the research, this article seems like a perfect candidate to include in any further research I would need to conduct on this subject. The article includes all the proper citations and references to verify. The research article offers great examples and accurate depictions of events related to the research. Most importantly, the article offers a reference page to further research the material and the subject. If I was given the task of writing a research paper about the impact of social interactions to the development of adult hood, I would include this article, in large part to the quality and quantity of the research behind the results.
