Abstract
The study aims to identify the most dominant the five major factors of personality and thinking styles, in addition, to detecting and examining the level of psychological well-being of divorced women in Palestine. It also sought to identify the relationship between these three variables and examined the impact of some demographic variables (such as; age, educational qualification, marital status, place of residence, duration since the divorce, duration of the marriage, number of children, and occupational status) on the five major factors of personality, thinking styles, and psychological well-being in Palestine.
To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used three tools, which are measures of the five major factors of personality, thinking styles, and psychological well-being. The validity of the assessment tools was verified, and the results indicated their validity for use. The study population consisted of all divorced women in Palestine; the sample consisted of (110) divorced women from in Palestine, and they were selected by the available method from different governorates in Palestine. The researcher used the correlational descriptive approach, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program was employed in the process, in addition to the appropriate statistical treatment of data to answer the questions of the study. Several results emerged from the study, the most important of which were:
The results showed that the assessment of all personality traits, which are the five broad personality traits; extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, was high. Also, the assessment of the thinking styles, which are legislative, local, liberal, judicial, external, hierarchical, internal, anarchic, executive, oligarchic, monarchic, global, and conservative thinking styles, was high. Same as the previous results, the assessment of psychological well-being was also high. Furthermore, there were correlational and statistically significant relationships between most of the study variables represented in personality traits, different thinking styles, and psychological well-being. Moreover, the results indicated that the educational qualification variable affected the neuroticism personality trait in favor of women who have a diploma or bachelor certificate at the significance level (α = 0.001), while it did not affect the results for other personality traits. Also, the demographic variables did not affect the thinking styles, while the occupational status affected the psychological well-being and in favor of working divorcees.
Given the results of the study, the researcher recommended conducting counseling programs and workshops targeting divorced women with the variables of personality traits, since it is associated with the thinking styles and the high psychological well-being of divorced women.
