Identify a particular change in your personality over the past (approximately) five years. This could be in terms of values, attitudes, interests, beliefs, standards, and/or behaviours, or any combination of those.

The change is being more of a risk taker now and being more open to try new things.

Compare and contrast how these three personality theories might then account/explain for these changes:

1. Phenomenological - Rogers

2. Trait Theory - Big 5

3. Personal Construct Theory - Kelly

Explain what each theory is and how it can used to explain the change of taking more risks. Go into detail for each theory and explain.
