PERSONALITY TRAITS AND IRRATIONAL BELIEFS IN SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT: A research study

The degree of harmony in a person's relationship with other individuals and social institutions is predicted by the attitudes and the traits that characterize a person. This study included the five factor model of personality and the irrational beliefs as proposed by Ellis in relating to social adjustment of college students. In a time when ineffective social adjustment leads to tragic ends like suicide, it is pertinent that we understand the factors that contribute to a well adjusted person in the society. A book that will be of great interest to Psychologists, Sociologists and those who aspiring to carry out a social research study.
