| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the dimensions of
personality, self-concept and family influence. The sample consists of 214 students from
two secondary schools in the FELDA settlement in Johor. Random cluster sampling was
carried out. A pilot test was carried out to determine the internal consistency of the
questionnaire. The assessment instrument used in this study was the Malay version of the
Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory (JEPI) which has a reliability level of 0.5739. The
Malay version of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale which has a reliability level of 0.8657
was also used. The family influence questionnaire which has a reliability level of 0.7913
was also used in this study to identify the effects of family influence in the aspects of
family cohesiveness, religious and moral aspect and freedom aspect. Descriptive statistic
and Pearson's Correlation were used to analyze the relationship between the dimensions of
personality, self-concept and family influence. The results show a weak relationship
between the dimensions of personality and self-concept, and between the dimensions of
personality and family cohesiveness. However, there is no relationship between the
dimensions of personality and the religious /moral and freedom aspect. The results also
show that there is a strong relationship between self-concept and family cohesiveness and a
moderate relationship between self-concept and the religious/moral aspect. However, there
is no relationship between self-concept and freedom. |
