مستويات عادات العقل عند طلبة الصف العاشر في ضوء متغير الجنس

Abstract EN

This study aims at investigating three levels of mind habits practised by tenth grade students and their relation to their gender.

The study attempted to answer research questions concerning mind habits and their relation with students’ gender, and the extent of presence of those habits in each gender.

The sample of the study consisted of 216 students in the tenth grade.

Three instruments were used: Self-assessment scale of persisting habit, self–assessment scale of managing impulsivity and self - assessment scale of listening with understanding and empathy.The Means t–test and one-way ANOVA research tools were used to study the relations among the levels of the mind habits and their relation with the study variables.

The findings showed that the levels of mind habits exceeded the assumed mean of these levels for both male and female.

The results also indicated that males have a higher level of mind habits than females in the three studied habits.

Both genders showed greater abilities in the habits of persisting and impulsivity managing than that of listening with understanding and empathy.

In addition, both genders possess greater abilities in impulsivity managing compared to listening with understanding and empathy.

Both male and female students have a higher level of impulsivity than listening habit, and both also have a higher level of impulsivity than the persisting habit.

However, there are no significant differences between the level of habits of persisting and listening with understanding and empathy.Some recommendations were made with regard to these findings.
