An exploration of adolescent personality structures: implications on policy development and practice
Abstract
Utilizing Goldberg's (2006) Bass-Ackwards method, the study the structure of personality of selected university students (n=629) using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa and McCrae, 2004). Data analysis produced five distinct personality structures namely (1) The Unconscientious-Neurotic, (2) The Neurotic-Extravert, (3) The Disagreeable, (4) The Unconscientious Extravert, and (5) The Conscientious Close-Minded. An understanding of theses personality constructs is synonymous to learning the research's implications on education, policy development and practice. The findings of the personality structure of selected university students open opportunities in developing or improving institutional policies and research-based practices that will benefit not only the academic community but also its clientele. The central concern is to direct research in such a way as to be relevant and useful for action. The initial findings will serve three basic functions, i.e. the conceptual, instrumental, and strategic.
