Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the personality characteristics of secondary school students from rural and urban areas. The study was conducted to examine whether there are significant differences in the personality characteristics of students from different geographical locations. A total of 300 students from both rural and urban areas were selected as participants for the study. The personality characteristics of the students were assessed using the Big Five Personality Traits Scale. The results of the study indicate that there are significant differences in the personality characteristics of rural and urban secondary school students. The study found that urban students scored higher on traits such as extraversion and openness to experience, while rural students scored higher on traits such as agreeableness and conscientiousness. These findings have important implications for educators and policymakers in terms of understanding the differences in personality characteristics of students from different geographical locations and designing appropriate interventions to support their academic and personal growth.
