Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Characteristic adaptation refers to changes in a person's typical activities and behaviors based on their personality traits and environmental factors. As Janie gets older, she may adapt her behavior to still engage in activities that align with her openness to experience, but within her physical limitations and financial means, such as traveling to unusual destinations rather than skydiving. This adaptation is a result of her basic tendency towards openness to experience. The reticular activating system and temperament are not relevant to this scenario.
