- Abstract
The present study aims to examine personality traits among late adolescents and elderly from Hindu and Christian religious groups using NEO- FFI (3). The study included three hundred and twenty participants with 160 Hindus and 160 Christians. Results from the study reported a significant difference between the two age groups, with the elderly scoring high on agreeableness and extraversion, and late adolescents reporting high scores in openness to experience, neuroticism, and conscientiousness. No gender difference was observed in the study. Furthermore, Hindu participants scored high on neuroticism and conscientiousness whereas, Christian participants scored high on openness to experience, extraversion and agreeableness. Additionally, difference was observed in openness to experience and agreeableness among the two religious groups, Hindu and Christian. Thus, the findings of this study confirm that factors such as age and religious affiliation can have some variations in an individual's personality development across the lifespan.
