Abstract

This research was designed to explore differences in neuroticism and extraversion tendencies of students of three different nationalities: 248 Egyptians, 58 Americans, and 347 British. Egyptians had the highest Neuroticism score and the lowest Extraversion score; Americans exhibited greater tendency toward Extraversion than British, and no significant differences in Neuroticism between British and Americans were noted. The Egyptians' unexpected lower Extraversion score was discussed in light of the subjective culture theory.
