| dc.description.abstract | The present study on influence of home environment on personality traits of adolescents was conducted in the year 2012-13 in Dharwad taluk of Karnataka. The sample for the study comprised 256 adolescents (128 boys and 128 girls) who were selected from 8th, 9th, 10th standard, PUC-I and PUC-II classes from urban and rural areas. Self-structured questionnaire was used to collect background information of the subjects. The Big Five Inventory developed by John et al. (1991) was used to assess the personality traits and Home Environment Inventory developed by Mishra (1983) was used to assess the home environment of the subjects. The results revealed significant difference between the urban and rural adolescents in some of the personality traits such as agreeableness, conscientiousness and emotional stability wherein the urban adolescents were better in conscientiousness whereas the rural counterparts were better in agreeableness and emotional stability. Further results on the influence of home environment on the personality traits of adolescents indicated that almost all the components of home environment had significant influence on the personality traits of adolescents except control and punishment. The Protectiveness dimension had significant influence on agreeableness, emotional stability and openness to experience while Conformity on extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience, Social isolation on extroversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness and Reward on agreeableness and conscientiousness and deprivation of privileges on extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience and Nurturance on conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience and Rejection on all the personality traits and Permissiveness on extroversion dimensions of personality. However, control and punishment dimensions had no significant influence on any of the personality traits. | en_US |
