Description
Summary:Personality traits are associated with callous unemotional traits and are high predictor of callous unemotional behavior. In this study, callous-unemotional qualities and personality components were examined in relation to each other. The impact of personality traits on CU qualities and its subscales, such as callousness, uncaring, and unemotional component, is the main area of inquiry. Data for the current study was gathered from Gujrat City's public and private colleges. Convenient sampling was used to choose a sample of 1500 students, of which 750 boys and 750 girls, aged 15 to 22, were included in the sample. The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (Frick, 2004) and The Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999) were employed as measurement tools. The findings indicated a favorable correlation between CU and Personality. Additionally, it demonstrated that neuroticism was investigated as a personality trait predictor of CU characteristics and its sub-domains. In addition, the study reveals that guys exhibit higher levels of CU qualities than girls, suggesting that boys are more likely to engage in anti-social behavior. The current findings can give insight into the important role of personality traits in the commission of CU traits. It can help the teachers to identify the growing rate of CU traits among students and different workshops can design for teachers regarding student's behavior and how to contribute in the treatment with reference to Pakistani culture.
