Die verband tussen identiteitsontwikkeling en persoonlikheidstipevoorkeure by adolessente in die Wes-Kaap

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The primary aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between identitydevelopment and personality type preference during the adolescent developmental phase.The Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity status (EOM-EIS-2) and the Myers-BriggsType Indicator (MBTI) were used as research instruments. School, gender and languagewere considered as the demographic variables.Personality type preferences and the demographic variables indicated six significantinteractions. The Thinking-Feeling (T-J) scale was related significantly to the gendervariable. Sensing-Intuition (S-N), Thinking-Feeling (T-J) and Judging-Perception (J-P) wererelated significantly to language. Sensing-Intuition (S-N) and Judging-Perception (J-P)have indicated significant interactions with the school variable.Identity status and the demographic variables also indicated significant interactions.Gender was related significantly to the interpersonal moratorium status. The school andlanguage variables interacted with the identity diffusion, foreclosure and moratoriumstatuses in the ideological and in the interpersonal domains..Significant interactions were indicated among identity status and two of the dimensions ofpersonality type preference, that is Sensing-Intuition (S-N) and Judgement-Perception (JP).Significant preferences for Intuition (N) in relation to the ideological, as well as theinterpersonal foraetosure statuses were indicated. Intuition (N) was also related to the.interpersonal diffusion and moratorium statuses. Preferences for Perception (P) were alsorelated significantly to ideological and interpersonal foreclosure, as well as to interpersonaldiffusion and moratorium statuses. Neither Thinking-Feeling (T-J) nor Extroversion-Introversion (E-I) dimensions demonstrated any significant interaction with the identitystatuses.Educational implications and recommendations are suggested in terms of the indicatedpersonality types and preferences among adolescents, identity formation, as well as thedemographic variables related to personality type preferences and identity formation.Recommendations are also suggested with regard to the relationship between identitystatus and personality type preferences. The researcher would like to emphasise individualdifferences and diversity (in terms of identity development and personality typepreferences) which link up with an inclusive educational approach.
