Abstract:
The present study aims at identifying : 1. The thinking types dominating among university students. 2. The emotional memory of university students.3. Personality traits dominating among university students.4. The differences in thinking types in terms of gender variable (males - females) and specialization variable (scientific - humanity) of university students. 5. The differences in the emotional memory in terms of gender variable (males - females), and specialization (scientific - humanity) of university students.6. The differences in the personality traits in terms of gender variable (males - females) and specialization (scientific - humanity) of university students.7. The extent to which the thinking types and emotional memory contributes in the personality traits of university students. The sample includes (400) male and female students who have been rand only selected by the stratified sampling method of a proportioned distribution. The sample is selected from (8) humanity and scientific colleges , distributed as (216) male and female students at the humanity colleges in the amount of (92) male and (124) female , and (184) male and female students at the scientific colleges in the amount of (52) male and (132) female. The total student male were (144) , and total student from female were (256) Three instrument have been employed : 1. Thinking styles Positive and Negative scale consisting of (36) items , by (18) items for type constructed by the researcher herself.2. Emotional memory scale consisting of (45) items constructed by the researcher herself.3. Freibarger personality traits scale (1970) which has been translated into Arabic language by Alawi on the Egyptian environment. The Arabic version of this scale consists of (56) items distributed on (8) triats. The psychometric features of the three instruments have been achieved including face validity , construct validity , discriminating power , as well as reliability coefficient has been computed by using test - retest and Alpha - cronbach methods. The following statistical methods have been used : ( Chi Square , one sample t - test, two independent samples t - test , two interrelated samples t - test , Pearson correlation coefficient, Alpha cronbach , Two way Analysis of variance with interaction , Multi - regression analysis , point - biserial correlation , and Fai correlation).After analysing data statistically , results show the following : 1. University students have a positive thinking type. 2. University students have a good emotional memory. 3. Depression trait is dominating in university students , and have a low level of personality traits (neurosis , aggressive , irritable , social , calm , controlled and regulated). 4. No statistically significant differences between males and females in thinking type positive and negative , Humanity specialization students are superior to scientific ones in positive thinking type , No interaction has been found between gender and specialization in thinking type positive and negative. 5. No statistically significant differences between males and females in the emotional memory , Humanity specialization students are superior to scientific ones in emotional memory , No interaction has been found between gender and specialization in emotional memory. 6. No statistically significant differences have been found in personality traits (neurosis , aggressive , social , controlled) , There are statistically significant differences in the following personality traits (depressed , irritable , calm , regulated) in favor of females , No effect for academic specialization on the personality traits (neurosis , aggressive , depressed , irritable , social , controlled , regulated) , There is a statistically significant difference in the academic specialization in calmness trait in favor of the scientific specialization. There is no interaction between gender and Specialization variables in personality traits. 7. The contribution of negative correlation statistical significant between positive thinking types and personality traits (aggressive , depressed , irritable) , There is a positive correlation of statistical significant between positive thinking type and personality traits (social , calm , controlled , regulated). - The contribution of positive correlation statistical significant between negative thinking type and personality traits (aggressive , depressed , irritable) , and the contribution of negative correlation statistical significant between negative thinking type and personality traits (social , calm , controlled , regulated). - The contribution of negative correlation statistical significant between the emotional memory and personality traits (neurosis , depressed) , There is a statistically significant positive correlation between emotional memory and calmness. - There is a contribution of the positive thinking type in the following personality traits (depressed , social , calm , controlled , regulated) , and there is no a contribution of the positive thinking type in the personality traits (neurosis , aggressive , irritable). - There is a contribution of the negative thinking type in the personality traits (aggressive , depressed , irritable , social , calm , controlled , regulated) , and there is no a contribution of the positive thinking type in personality traits (neurosis). - There is a contribution of the emotional memory in the traits of (neurosis) , and no a contribution in the other personality traits. Finally , suitable recommendations and suggestions for farther studies have been put forward.
