Abstract

Human life will never be understood unless its highest aspirations are taken into account. Growth, Self actualization, the quest for identity and autonomy, challenging the limits of intellectual potential and the yearning for excellence are a universal human tendency. Endowed with an innate striving to exercise and elaborate their interests, individuals naturally tend to seek challenges, to discover new directions and perspectives and to actively internalise and transform personality characteristics. The personality temperament acts as a useful theoretical construct for understanding inherent potentialities of actualization (J. Guthrie Ford, 1991). This study was designed to examine the link between Personality and Self actualizing values: Time competence (Tc), Inner directedness (I) and Self actualizing values (SAV). A total of 247 (114 males and 133 females) participants between the age range (45-60) years were involved from different areas of Punjab, Chandigarh and Delhi. The Personal orientation inventory (Everett L. Shostrom, 1964) was used to assess the Self actualizing values and NEO-PI-R (Costa and McCrae, 1992) was used for measuring personality traits. Results from the study revealed a distinct pattern of association between these variables. Key Words: Self actualizing values, SAV, Tc, I, Personality traits. Policy
