TRAITS DE PERSONNALITÉ DES ENFANTS ORPHELINS CONGOLAIS

Abstract

Orphaned children are part of the category of vulnerable children. Because losing the attachment figure (the parents) constitutes an existential shock for children which consequently places them in a situation of psychological, social and economic fragility. This situation has a major impact on their personality. It is for this reason that this present study, which targeted a few Congolese orphan children, contacted in a shelter and support center for orphaned children, identifies the personality traits present in this category of child, using of Big five.

Keywords: Personality trait; orphaned children; big five.
