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.
