Comparative study - Big five factors of personality among Kathak dancers and non-dancers

Abstract Personality refers to individual differences in patterns of thinking (cognition), feeling (affection), and behaving. Personality research primarily focuses on two areas: first, understanding individual differences in specific personality traits; and second, examining how the various components of personality integrate to form a cohesive whole.

In this study, a purposive sample of 150 female college students from Banasthali Vidyapith was selected. Among them, 75 were trained classical Kathak dancers, while the remaining 75 were non-dancers. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 24 years. The NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), comprising 60 items, was employed to assess five key personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Responses were recorded on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.

The primary aim of the study was to examine differences in personality traits between classical dancers and non-dancers. Results indicated slight differences in the mean scores between the two groups; however, no statistically significant differences were found in the trait of Neuroticism. This suggests that while there may be minimal variation, overall, the two groups do not significantly differ in this personality domain.
