ABSTRACT
The
paper aims at introducing a new approach to individual differences. Personality
is recognized here as the system built on tensions between three levels, namely
traits, characteristic adaptations, and self-concept as well as tensions
between the person and environment; another source of tensions is cognitive
versus emotional processes. Personality development is possible during life
span on the levels of characteristic adaptations and self-concepts, however,
minor changes are possible also on the level of traits. Adaptation and
transgression are two opposite kinds of processes, the former stands for
integration and emotional security, and the latter for innovation and change.
