Gender Disparity in Respect of Personality

Underlying the beliefs of many cultures is an assumption that, beyond biology, women and men possess essentially different capacities, functions and behaviour. Understanding this assumption helps make sense of the perpetuation and even institutionalization of male/female difference with regard to behavior expectations, position within the family, legal rights, public status, education, and types of work. In this regard the present research was to investigate the effect of Gender on Personality Profile of adolescents. The initial sample comprised 60 adolescents from class XIth & XIIth, then whole sample was equally divided into two groups i.e.30 male and 30 female. The data were collected on Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI). Two group rendomized design was used to precede the investigation. To analyze the data the present investigation deals with t test. On the basis of analysis following conclusion were made. Result revealed that female possess more introvert and neurotism criteria in their personality whereas Male having more extrovert and stability criteria in their personality.
