the perspective of historical embeddedness is composed of two main ideas: the idea that a relationship exists between an individual's development and the socio-cultural setting around them, and also how this setting evolves over time. during the time of adolescence, baltes believed the socio-cultural setting in which an individual develops plays a distinct role in the development of their personality. this has been exemplified in numerous studies, including nesselroade and baltes’, who showed that the level and direction of change in adolescent personality development was influenced as strongly by the socio-cultural settings at the time (in this case, the vietnam war) as age related factors. the study involved individuals of four different adolescent age groups who all showed significant personality development in the same direction (a tendency to occupy themselves with ethical, moral, and political issues rather than cognitive achievement). similarly, edler showed that the great depression was a setting that significantly affected the development of adolescents and their corresponding adult personalities, by showing a similar common personality development across age groups. baltes’ theory also states that the historical socio-cultural setting had an effect on the development of an individual's intelligence. the areas of influence that baltes thought most important to the development of intelligence were health, education, and work. the first two areas, health and education, significantly affect adolescent development as a healthy child, who is educated effectively, will develop a higher level of intelligence. the environmental factors, health and education, have been suggested by neiss and rowe to have as much effect on intelligence as inherited intelligence. the second idea of historical embeddedness is that this socio-cultural setting evolves over time. therefore, during adolescence, when intelligence is influenced significantly, advances in the areas of health, education, and type of work available to adolescents will show an effect that persists into adulthood. this effect of intelligence not only changing with time (as people age), but also varying by the historical time period a person developed in, was shown in a study by schaie on adults only ten years apart in age. this study showed that intelligence levels change by cohort, or historical time.
