摘要

This study examines the personality traits of negative role models of Turkish undergraduate psychology students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 participants regarding a specific negative role model they chose. Scripts were content analyzed and interpreted in terms of the Big Five Personality Model. Inter-rater reliability analysis indicated a high level of agreement between the two coders, showing an overall Cohen’s κ of .94. Results showed that negative role models were mainly described as having low levels of conscientiousness and agreeableness. Within the theme of conscientiousness negative role models' lack of motivation, desire for achievement or life purpose, indecisiveness, and inability to deal with life difficulties were prominent. Within the theme of agreeableness negative role models’ negative attitudes and behavior such as humiliating or dominating others were mentioned. Findings indicated that negative role models existed within the close social circle of the participant (i.e., being a family member), and they were described with some positive characteristics as well. Another finding showed that female participants’ negative role models were usually female, while male participants’ negative role models were male. Findings were discussed and recommendations were presented for future studies.
