THE IMPACT OF PERSONALITY TYPES IN ADOLESCENTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR MENTAL HEALTH, DEVELOPMENT, AND LIFELONG OUTCOMES

Abstract
Adolescence represents a transformative period, bridging childhood and adulthood, marked by profound physical, cognitive, and emotional development. During this phase, the foundations of identity and personality traits begin to solidify, directly influencing an individual’s mental health, social integration, and adaptive capacities. This research paper delves into the well-established Type A (competitive, driven) and Type B (relaxed, patient) personality frameworks, examining the unique developmental trajectories of each type, their respective impacts on mental health, academic performance, and social relationships, and their predictive value for adult life outcomes. The role of both biological and environmental factors in personality formation is explored, underscoring the interplay between genetic predispositions and life experiences. Recognizing the long-term influence of adolescent personality on psychosocial adjustment, this paper emphasizes the importance of early interventions and tailored coping strategies to promote resilience, aiming to lay the groundwork for healthier, more adaptable adult personalities.
