EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY TYPES AND CONFLICT PROBLEMS IN MALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS RESIDING IN DORMITORIES

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationships between Enneagram personality types and conflict problems in male university students residing in dormitories. The Enneagram is a personality system that categorizes individuals into nine distinct types based on their core motivations and behaviors. Dormitory living can pose unique challenges as students navigate shared spaces, diverse backgrounds, and differing personalities. The study involves a sample of male university students living in dormitories, who completed the Enneagram Personality Test and a questionnaire assessing conflict problems experienced within the dormitory setting. The data analysis seeks to identify potential associations between specific Enneagram personality types and the prevalence and nature of conflict problems in the dormitory environment. The study's findings contribute to a better understanding of how individual personality traits may influence conflict dynamics in shared living spaces among university students.
