Abstract

The study aims to determine the relationship between personality traits, self-esteem, and anger expression among university students. This quantitative research study employed a survey research design to investigate the relationship between personality traits, self-esteem, and anger expression among university students. Three questionnaires were utilized to collect data from a purposive sample of 100 university students, which were determined using the G formula for sample size calculation. The result of this study revealed significant relationships between all variables, highlighting the influence of personality traits on self-esteem and anger expression among university students. Additionally, findings indicated openness was the most common personality trait, while neuroticism was the least common. So. It is concluded that personality traits impact self-esteem and anger expression in university students.
