Abstract
Personality is a vibrant organization, inside the individual, of psychophysical structures that produce a person’s distinguishing patterns of behavior, judgments, and feelings. The major objective of the present study was to determine the personality dynamics of boarder students and day scholars. The sample of the study is comprised of 150 male and 150 female students taken from public sector universities of Lahore district. NEO personality inventory developed by McCrae and Costa, (1995) was used to collect the data. Inferential statistics were applied to compare the personality dynamics of hosteller and day scholars based on their gender and discipline of study. Results indicated that hostellers are less sociable, talkative, gregarious, assertive, active, ambitious and expressive as compared to day scholars. Male students showed significant personality dynamics than female students. By comparing disciplines, students enrolled in humanities group revealed more personality development traits than science students. This study recommends suggestions to the higher education institutes to provide mentoring programs for the boarders to strengthen their personality development traits.
