Personality traits are considered to be relatively enduring and stable components of personality which have
become an area of keen interest for researchers in psychology. In the West, over the last few decades,
considerable efforts have been put to find empirical evidence of the theorized association between personality
traits and interpersonal problems. The current study was designed to investigate the relationship between
personality traits and interpersonal difficulties in Pakistani students. A sample of 600 university students (48%
men & 52% women) with age range of 17 – 25years (M = 20.79, SD = 1.67) was administered the Interpersonal
Difficulties Scale and the Big Five Inventory. Analysis of the data revealed significant negative correlation
between extraversion and interpersonal difficulties as well as between conscientiousness and interpersonal
difficulties, while a significant positive correlation was found between neuroticism and interpersonal
difficulties. Implications and suggestions for future researchers were discussed in terms of the collectivistic
culture of Pakistan.
