Abstract
The major purpose of present research was to study the impact of labeling on adolescents personality. This research was carried out on three hundred adolescent girls and boys with age ranging between 14 and 22 years from different schools, colleges and university of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The participants were selected on the basis of their availability through selfadministered questionnaires. The sample of three hundred participants was divided into two groups. (a) Labeled group (N=150) and (b) Non-labeled group (N=150). Self-image scale and Sixteen-personality factors (16pf) test were administered to know the relationship of labeling with their personalities. The study found that labeling effected the self-image of the participants but there was no strong impact on their personalities. Results indicate that labeled and nonlabeled groups both have same personality, their age, mature and stable beliefs, norms, personality differences and environmental changes were the major reasons of their stable personalities. Adolescents having good home environment and normal health were more stable than participants with poor health and unhealthy home environment.
