LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 2
Introduction
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 4
Crowded teeth have been defined as lack of space in the mandibular and maxillary.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 5
It starts to be pressed together in a disjointed way and for the reason that it makes the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 6
space between them compact. Having this kind of condition isn’t limited and common only
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 7
to adults but also in adolescence. Orthodontics says that while young it is ideal to treat
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 8
crowded teeth (Kimbrough, 2017). Also, teeth crowding is not only a cosmetic problem, if
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 9
this condition of the teeth is left untreated it may result in many short- or long-term dental
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 10
health issues. According to the study conducted on behalf of the American Academy of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 11
Cosmetic Dentistry, on the cross-section of the Americans there were pictures shown to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 12
them of individuals without and with dental treatment. The survey showed that people
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 13
appear wiser, victorious and wealthy to others when they show beautiful smiles. The study
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 14
even shows that embarrassed successful professionals with crowded or crooked teeth do
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 15
not smile often as those people with straight teeth (The University of Texas Health Science
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 16
Center, 2016). A first impression will always be made based on your appearance when
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 17
meeting someone new peers the person’s mouth is one of the first things you see. False
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 18
judgments about you can be made by just looking at your mouth’s bad condition. Not
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 19
everyone has the ability to correct problems with their teeth. Appearance can mean
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 20
everything to some of us. Along with having a crooked or damage smile a person’s self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 21
esteem can really be affected and with that it gives them a low self-image of themselves
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 22
(Helfner, 2018).
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 23
also one’s pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is said that personality trait
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 25
alludes consistency and stability. Someone who has a specific trait such as Extroversion
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 26
is always expected to be outgoing over time and in different situations. The Five Factor
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 27
Model is known to be the famously used system of traits. The acronym OCEAN determines
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 28
the five broad traits included in the five-factor model which are: Openness,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 29
someone’s personality from each of the major traits in the Big Five is divided into facets
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 31
Youths nowadays rely on their physical appearance in order for them to determine
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 33
whether to have or do not have high self-esteem for themselves. Self-esteem is somehow
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 34
defined as in relation to the words like self-worth or self-respect, it is also an important part
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 35
of the success to. Disappointment or depression is the result of having too little self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 36
esteem. In line with having too much self-esteem can be related to a person having a
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 37
narcissistic personality disorder, having too much self-esteem can also put relationships
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 38
damage. In psychology, self-esteem is defined as the term in which describes the person’s
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 39
overall sense of self-worth or personal value (Cherry, 2018). The major factor which
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 40
bad physical image. Physical look for most teenagers can highly influence their overall
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 42
trait or self-esteem.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 43
In relation to this, the condition of having crowded teeth may affect a person’s
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 44
personality trait and self-esteem since it also affects the physical appearance of the one
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 45
possessing this condition. Through this, the researchers agreed upon studying the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 46
correlational study between personality trait and self-esteem among young adults with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 47
crowded teeth. The research conducted in the area of PINEDA, PASIG CITY which where
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 48
the dental clinic of Dr. Catalino A. Turla. The purpose of this study is to determine whether
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 49
there is a correlation between self-esteem and personality trait among young adults with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 50
crowded teeth. The aim of this study is for the researchers to have a deeper knowledge
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 51
as to how crowded teeth affect the personality trait and self-esteem of those young adults
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 52
suffering from that condition. The researchers also want to help the individual with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 53
crowded teeth to deal with how they become confident even with this condition, also to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 54
help them determine if they really are suffering from this condition by running some tests
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 55
Theoretical Framework
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 66
Five-Factor Theory (McCrae & Costa, 2008) was designed to explain the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 68
development and functioning of the individual in the light of findings from research
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 69
conducted. Using the Five-Factor Model or FFM developed by McCrae and Costa, it
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 70
personality. The five-factor theory is among the most favored and newest models
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 74
developed for the description of personality, and this model shows promise to be among
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 75
the most practical and applicable models available in the field of personality psychology
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 76
(Digman, 1990). The researchers will make use of this theory in line with this research
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 77
study in which young adults suffering from crowded teeth condition has an effect on their
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 78
personality as an individual.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 79
A Theory of Self-Esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 80
evaluation of his or her own worth (Gecas 1982; Rosenberg 1990). In Maslow’s Hierarchy
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 82
of Needs, self-esteem was divided into two categories: esteem for oneself (dignity,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 83
achievement, mastery, independence) and the desire for reputation or respect from
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 84
others. Feelings of self-esteem developed in early childhood and were formed from the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 85
interaction of the child with the mother and father. As a child grows older, interactions with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 86
significant others will affect feelings of self-esteem (Rogers, 1951). Maslow indicated that
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 87
the need for respect is the most essential for children and adolescents to attain real self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 88
esteem. The theory is in line with this research study on how the self-esteem of young
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 89
adults suffering from crowded teeth does will be affected by such condition.

esteem have a correlation to those young adults with the condition of crowded teeth.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 119
This research will help in future researches that will discuss a similar study like this
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 121
so that they will have a guide in their research. Through this study, the researchers aim to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 122
know the existence of a statistical correlation between personality traits and self-esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 123
among young adults with crowded teeth. The groups of people who will benefit from the

LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 126
Since they are the subject of this study, they are the one who will benefit the most. They
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 127
will be able to overcome their insecurities and to uplift their self-esteem. This will also help
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 128
them gain awareness on how to take good care of their selves especially in terms of dental
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 129
aesthetics.

its effect on the correlation between personality traits and self-esteem. This data that are
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 138
presented in this study can be used also by the public as reference data in conducting
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 139
new researches to further add knowledge of this study. They can also use this as a guide
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 140
for their further research and to test their validity by comparison of statistical findings. Also,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 141
to help one another to be more confident with their dental aesthetic and have a better
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 142
living.

esteem among young adults with crowded teeth. The respondents involved in this
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 147
research are chosen through convenient sampling. The participants for this study will
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 148
range from 18 years of age to 35 years of age who has sufficient understanding. It is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 149
limited to individuals whose patients of Dr. Catalino A. Turla III from area of Metro Manila.

feelings, and welfare of other persons). People who are high in agreeableness
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 154
tend to be more cooperative while those low in this trait tend to be more competitive
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 155
conscientious people tend to be organized and mindful of details. They plan ahead,

resulting in teeth that are crooked and overlap. It’s the biggest reason for

around other people helps them feel energized and excited. People who are low

energy in social settings. Social events can feel draining and introverts often
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 170
instability. Individuals who are high in this trait tend to experience mood swings,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 173
anxiety, irritability, and sadness. Those low in this trait tend to be more stable and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 174
emotionally resilient (is how people give psychological strength to manage with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 175
People who are high in this trait also tend to have a broad range of interests. They
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 178
are curious about the world and other people and eager to learn new things and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 179
enjoy new experiences. People who are high in this trait tend to be more
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 180
adventurous and creative. People low in this trait are often much more traditional

Personality Traits
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 191
feeling and ways of behaving that makes a person different from other people. A trait can
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 193
certain ways. The trait approach to personality is one of the major theoretical areas in the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 195
individuals. The combination and interaction of various traits form a personality that is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 198
unique to each individual. Trait theory is focused on identifying and measuring these
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 199
attempts to track down how many personality traits exist. Researches about personality
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 201
have generated a variety of different theories that attempt to define and measure
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 202
personality.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 203
contained more than 4,000 words describing different personality traits. Later on, the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 205
number of main personality traits was reduced by trait theorist Raymond Cattell from
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 206
Allport’s initial list over 4,000 down to 171. It was done primarily by eliminating uncommon
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 207
traits and combining common characteristics. Next, Cattell rated a large sample of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 208
individuals for these 171 different traits. Then, using factor analysis, he identified closely
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 209
related terms and eventually reduced his list to just 16 key personality traits. These 16
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 210
traits are the source of all human personality (Raymond Cattell, 1946).
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 211
However, according to Hans Eysenck (1952), the model of personality was based
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 212
upon just three universal trails consisted of Extraversion and Neuroticism, later adding
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 213
Psychoticism creating the PEN Model (Eysenck, 1990). The PEN model is a combination
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 214
of descriptive and casual aspects of personality, which makes it more distinct than other
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 215
theories such as the Five-Factor Model (Costa and McCrae, 1992: Eysenck, 1991). The
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 216
PEN Model offers casual explanations, as well as simply describing personality traits.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 217
Both Cattell’s and Eysenck’s theory have been the subject of considerable
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 218
research. This has led some theorists to believe that Cattell focused on too many traits
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 219
and was too complicated, while Eysenck focused on too few and was too limited in scope.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 220
Lewis Goldberg may be the most prominent researcher in the field of personality
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 221
factors” of personality into five primary factors, similar to the five factors found by fellow
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 223
psychology researchers in the 1960s. As a result, a new trait theory often referred to as
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 224
The Big Five personality traits also known as the five-factor model or FFM (Costa,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 226
and functioning of the individual in the light of findings from research conducted and is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 229
based on common language descriptors (McCrae & Costa, 2008). These five factors have
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 230
The five-factor theory is among the most favored and newest models developed for the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 232
description of personality, and this model shows promise to be among the most practical
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 233
and applicable model (Digman, 1990). This model uses descriptors of common language
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 234
and therefore suggests five broad dimensions commonly used to describe the human
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 235
personality and psyche (Goldberg, 1993). The five dimensions according to Goldberg
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 236
These five factors are largely on the basis of the lexical hypothesis: personality
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 239
characteristics that are most important in people's lives have, over time, become encoded
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 240
an individual’s mental life and experiences (John & Srivastava, 1999). This trait features
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 243
characteristics such as imagination and insight. Is a general appreciation for art, emotion,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 244
and willing to try new things. High openness can be perceived as unpredictability or lack
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 247
of focus, and more likely to engage in risky behavior (Ambridge, 2014). Also, individuals
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 248
that have high openness tend to look forward, in occupation and hobby, towards the arts,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 249
being creative and appreciative of the significance of intellectual and artistic pursuits
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 250
(Schustack, 2016). Individuals low in this trait are often much more traditional and may
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 251
struggle with logical thinking and systematic thought. Those with low openness seek to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 252
gain fulfillment through perseverance and are characterized in a more realistic way that is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 253
In accordance with the study of Mr. Christopher Bergland (2016) he says, “New
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 256
responsible, control impulses, socially acceptable ways, behaviors that facilitate goal-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 260
directed behavior and strive for achievement against measures or outside expectations
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 261
(John & Srivastava, 1999). It is related to the way in which people control, regulate, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 262
direct their instincts. Standard features of this dimension include high levels of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 263
Conscientious people excel in their ability to delay indulgence, work within the rules, plan
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 265
planned rather than spontaneous behavior (Costa and McCrae, 1992). An individual who
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 267
in leadership positions, and to arduously pursue their goals with determination and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 269
mindful of details. They plan ahead, think about how their behavior affects others, and are
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 271
mindful of deadlines and often perceived as being stubborn and focused. Low
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 272
conscientiousness is associated with flexibility and spontaneity, but can also appear as
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 273
sloppiness and lack of reliability (Barsoux, 2012). An individual who scores low in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 274
impulsive. The average level of conscientiousness rises among young adults and then
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 276
The respondents with high level of consciousness may inspiration others or they
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 278
may contribute their positive trait to the people who are capable of procrastinating. Dr.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 279
Stephen R. Covey (1989) once said to his book "Look at the word responsibility—
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 280
that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 282
behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 283
situations, and energy creation from external means (Laney, 2002). This factor has two
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 287
individual draws their energy and how they interact with others. In general, extroverts draw
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 289
energy from interacting with people and are often perceived as full of energy. Extroverts
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 290
tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals. They possess high group visibility, like
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 291
to talk, and assert themselves. Extroverted people may appear more dominant in social
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 292
have lower social engagement and energy levels compare to extraverts. They tend to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 294
seem quiet, low-key, deliberate, and less involved in the social world. The lack of social
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 295
involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression; instead, they are more
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 296
independent of their social world than extraverts. Introverts need less stimulation, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 297
more time alone but this does not mean that they are unfriendly or antisocial; rather, they
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 298
are reserved in social situations (Coetzer, 2003). Individuals high in extroversion tend to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 299
seek out opportunities for social interaction. It often perceived as attention-seeking and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 300
domineering. They are comfortable with others, gregarious, and prone to action rather
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 301
than contemplation (Lebowitz, 2016). Individuals with low in extroversion are people who
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 302
are quiet, introspective, reserved, and thoughtful. Low extraversion causes a reserved,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 303
The researcher recommends to the people with high level of extraversion to may
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 305
help other people to contribute their positivity and energy especially during down days.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 306
According to Christina DesMarias (2018) says “Right now there's an energy field or aura
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 307
around you that others can feel. Without saying anything you can emit a sense of peace,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 308
calm and other positive feelings that can inspire, uplift and energize the people with whom
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 309
than suspicious and hostile towards others. It is also a measure of one's trusting and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 313
agreeableness is a social trait, research has shown that one's agreeableness positively
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 315
correlates with the quality of relationships with one's team members. Agreeableness also
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 316
endearment, and other prosocial behaviors. Individuals who score high in agreeableness
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 319
tend to be favored, respected, beloved and sensitive to the needs of others. An agreeable
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 320
individual is generally considerate, kind, generous, trusting and trustworthy, helpful, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 321
willing to compromise their interests with others (Coetzer, 2003). They likely have few to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 322
no enemies, are sympathetic, and affectionate to their friends and loved ones, as well as
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 323
sympathetic to the plights of strangers (Lebowitz, 2016). Individuals on the low end of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 324
place self-interest above getting along with others and they tend to be cold-hearted, blunt,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 326
ill-mannered, antagonistic, and sarcastic. Although not all individuals who are low in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 327
agreeableness are cruel or abrasive, they are not likely to leave others with a bliss feeling.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 328
According to Joyce Meyer (2016), “it is impossible to be both selfish and happy”.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 331
If you know you are doing something for yourself and not feeling happy about it, then you
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 332
are being selfish, and you have selected a thing of luxury. Sacrificing your luxury is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 333
different than sacrificing your passion, if you can make a line and understand the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 334
difference between these then you can be truly helpful to others if not completely selfless.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 335
Also, trustworthiness, both on one’s own part as well as on the part of others around him,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 336
allows an individual to have an ordered and low-risk life. Trust itself is a main and vital
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 337
building block in human relationships, and one can easily see how a lack of trust can lead
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 338
is usually considered worthless, and often finds that he has no true friends. Conversely,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 340
an individual who is trustworthy is often considered highly valuable and will usually be

(1967) theory of personality, neuroticism is interlinked with a low tolerance for stress or
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 347
aversive stimuli. Neuroticism is a classic personality trait that has been studied in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 348
temperament research for decades before it was adopted by the FFM (Snidman, 2009).
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 349
An individual who’s high in neuroticism is prone to anxiety, sadness, worry, and low self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 350
esteem. They may be temperamental or easily angered, and they tend to be self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 351
conscious and unsure of themselves (Lebowitz, 2016). At the other end of the scale,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 352
individuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are less emotionally
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 353
reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 354
feelings. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 355
According to Mr. Kennedy (2018), people who are moody shift between those
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 357
emotions all the time. This can be because they are under a lot of stress or they are
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 358
naturally prone to emotional reactions. It could also be a sign that someone has a hard
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 359
time regulating their emotions or has another underlying condition, either mental or
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 360
Self-Esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 362
oneself. The feelings of self-esteem developed in early childhood and were formed from
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 365
the interaction of the child with the parents (Rogers, 1951). Self-esteem refers most
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 366
worth (Gecas 1982; Rosenberg 1990). Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 368
as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame (Hewitt, 2009).
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 369
Smith and Mackie (2007) defined it as the positive or negative evaluations of the self.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 370
satisfaction in marriage and relationships (Orth and Robbins, 2014), and criminal behavior.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 373
Self-esteem is usually assessed using self-report inventories. One of the most widely used
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 374
score that requires participants to indicate their level of agreement with a series of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 376
noteworthy source of how self-esteem develops (Baumeister et al, 2003). In the early
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 378
years of a child’s life, guardians affect the self-esteem and can be viewed as the main
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 379
source of positive and negative encounters a child will have (Sakic, 2014). During school-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 380
advancement (Baumeister et al, 2003). Numerous early theories proposed that self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 382
Maslow included self-esteem in his hierarchy of human needs. He portrayed two distinct
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 384
achievement, and esteem, and the need for a sense of self-respect, self-love,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 386
fearlessness, expertise, or aptitude (Maslow, 1987). Respect and appreciation from others
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 387
were accepted to be more delicate and easily lost than inner self-esteem. As indicated by
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 388
Maslow, without the satisfaction of the self-esteem need, individuals will be headed to look
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 389
for it and unable to grow and obtain self-actualization. Maslow additionally expresses that
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 390
the most beneficial expression of self-esteem "is the one which manifests in respect we
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 391
deserve for others, more than renowned, fame and flattery". Present day speculations of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 392
self-esteem investigate the reasons humans are inspired to keep up high respect for
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 393
us how we see the manner in which we are and the feeling of our own esteems. In this
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 395
manner, it influences the manner in which we are and acts in the world and the manner in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 396
which we are identified with every other person (Bonet, 1997). Carl Rogers (1902-1987),
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 397
issues to be that they loathe themselves and view themselves as useless and incapable
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 399
of being loved. This is the reason Rogers believed in the significance of giving
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 400
unconditional acceptance to a client and when this was done it could improve the client’s
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 401
self-esteem (Bonet, 1997). Abraham Maslow states that psychological health is beyond
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 402
the realm of imagination except if the basic center of the individual is fundamentally
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 403
accepted, cherished and regarded by others and by her or his self. Self-esteem enables
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 404
individuals to confront existence with more certainty, consideration, and optimism, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 405
may make individuals convinced they merit happiness (Branden, 1987). Understanding
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 407
this is fundamental, and generally advantageous since the advancement of positive self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 408
esteem increases the ability to approach other individuals with deference, benevolence,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 409
and generosity, thus favoring rich interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 410
ones (Branden, 1987). For Erich Fromm, love of others and love of ourselves are not
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 411
themselves will be found in every one of the individuals who is equipped for cherishing
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 413
uncommonly basic condition for educating professions (Miranda, 2005). Moreover, self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 415
individuals with high self-esteem will be more sympathetic than individuals with self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 417
esteem.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 418
up with is this: Be satisfied with yourself but strive for more in what you do. With this train
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 420
of thought, you will have a stronger relationship with yourself, while at the same time you
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 421
psychological concept therefore, the most common dental disorder like dental trauma,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 424
tooth loss, and untreated carious lesions influence the quality of life which may affect the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 425
self-esteem.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 426
physical and psychological human development. The developing countries which are 88%
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 428
have the vast majority of the world’s adolescence. Approximately 243 million adolescents
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 429
People’s general health and well-being are being affected by oral health. One of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 433
the recognitions in an oral health adolescent patient is recognized as the needs to have a
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 434
distinctive need due to a potentially high caries rate, an increased aesthetic desire,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 435
increased risk for traumatic injury and unique social and awareness and psychological
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 436
affected in the social psychology of a person. It is said that self-concept has one major
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 438
constituent and that is self-esteem. The sum of one’s self-worth and self-respect can be
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 439
understood as and relate to the word self-esteem. The individual health’s along with other
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 440
influencing factors play a vital role in building the self-esteem dimension. The self-esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 441
can also be influenced by oral health since it is an integral part of one’s general health,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 442
During the adolescence, the facial features and appearance play a major role in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 444
relationship is a major factor to be considered hence aesthetic alteration can have a direct
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 446
impact on self-esteem and ultimately the quality of life. However, we do not have enough
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 447
and the very limited studies which suggest that low self-esteem can be enhanced after
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 448
of the most common dental disorders such as dental trauma, untreated carious lesions,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 450
and tooth loss may affect the self-esteem which may further influence the quality of life of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 451
an individual.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 452
The further avenues of life have a foundation stone which is called “adolescent”,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 453
thus, this study aims to assess the impact of dental disorders among the adolescents on
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 454
There is now enough evidence that oral health and general well- being are
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 456
connected. It is proven that psychologically the condition of our mouth can indeed affect
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 457
us. Self-confidence can be boost by showing clean and maintaining good oral hygiene,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 458
well-care-for-teeth when you smile. How we look, speak, chew, taste, eat, socialize, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 459
enjoy life are the ones which our teeth effect. You are more likely to have greater self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 460
Appearance can mean everything, and while other people are lucky enough to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 462
afford great dental care, it is known that not everyone has the capacity to correct problems
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 463
with their teeth. A person’s self-esteem can be affected by a damaged smile, and because
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 464
of that, it may give them a low self-image with their own self. Crooked teeth, stained or
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 465
missing can lead to one individual to not smile at all, embarrassed of what others will think
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 466
of their oral imperfections. However, this can be treated by a licensed dentist in many
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 467
various ways.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 468
Children can also be a victim of low self-esteem due to their still-forming teeth.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 469
Gaps or crooked teeth, or even worse for those children who have teeth braces for
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 470
correcting their teeth can be a way for bullies to be cruel and making fun of them.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 471
The children with the imperfections could also be embarrassed in front of their
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 472
friends to smile or acknowledge they have braces at all and refusing to show them from
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 473
fear of embarrassment. Being reluctant to join in social activities in school can also is the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 474
effect of the appearance of teeth resulting in the children being isolated. A first impression
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 475
will be made based on your appearance and a person’s mouth will be the one you will first
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 476
notice when meeting someone new. Having bad teeth can make someone make false
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 477
judgments about you, without properly getting to know you first. How unfortunate but it’s
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 478
true that the first impression will be the one to stick at the back of a person’s mind.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 479
Confidence for some people (if not all) either on the surface or deep down within can be
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 480
Crowded Teeth
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 482
One of the best authors in Spanish language and one of the world's most
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 483
noteworthy writers Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra said that "Each tooth in a man's head
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 484
is more valuable than a diamond". The statement is very evident on the grounds that teeth
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 485
are the most enriching or most beautifying fragment of the face and yearning for teeth,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 486
which give in any occasion the nearness of flawlessness. Any anomaly or flaw, for
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 487
example, dental crowding in the teeth can change one's magnificence, which is unwanted.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 488
Crowding of teeth is where there is insufficient room for the normal complement of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 490
irregularity between tooth size and curve measurement which results in malocclusion. A
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 492
small undeveloped jaw, brought by the absence or lack of masticatory stress during amid
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 493
adolescence, can cause tooth overcrowding (Lieberman, Krovitz, et al, 2004). Ill-fitting
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 494
fractures after an extreme injury are other causes. Tumors of the mouth and jaw, thumb
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 496
sucking, tongue pushing, pacifier use past age 3, and prolonged utilization of a bottle have
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 497
condition first became common among the world's earliest farmers some 12,000 years
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 500
ago in Southwest Asia (PLOS ONE, 2015). By examining the lower jaws and teeth crown
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 501
dimensions of 292 archeological skeletons from the Levant, Anatolia, and Europe, from
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 502
The eating routine of the hunter-gatherer depended on "hard" sustenance like wild
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 506
uncooked vegetables and meat, while the staple eating routine of the stationary farmer
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 507
a necessity for biting which thusly decreases the span of the jaws yet without a relating
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 510
decrease in the elements of the teeth, there is no satisfactory space in the jaws, and this
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 511
The connection between biting, diet, and related dental wear patterns is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 513
outstanding in the scientific literature. Today, malocclusion and dental crowding affect one
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 514
of every five individuals in modern-world populations. The condition has been portrayed
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 515
In an experiment on two groups of rock hyraxes fed and sustained with hardened
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 517
or softened variants of similar foods, the animals fed with softer food had essentially
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 518
narrower and shorter facial appearances and slender and shorter mandibles than animals
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 519
bolstered hard food (Lieberman, Krovitz, et al, 2004). Experiments have demonstrated
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 520
that masticatory stress during childhood affects jaw advancement. A few studies have
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 522
hard-resinous gum for two hours every day and indicated expanded facial growth
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 524
(Bitsanis, 1987).
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 525
Crowding of the teeth is treated with orthodontics, usually with tooth extraction,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 526
clear aligners, or dental braces, trailed by development alteration in kids or jaw medical
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 527
on rare occasions. This may incorporate surgical reshaping to extend or abbreviate the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 529
jaw (orthognathic surgery). Wires, plates, or screws might be utilized to secure the jaw
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 530
bone, in a way similar to the surgical stabilization of jaw fractures. Not many individuals
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 531
The current study examined the relation between self-esteem and the Big Five
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 534
personality dimensions. Data were collected over the Internet from a large heterogeneous
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 535
the Big Five accounted for 34% of the variance in self-esteem. High self-esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 537
individuals were emotionally stable, extraverted, and conscientious and were somewhat
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 538
agreeable and open to experience. Despite an extensive search for potential mediators
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 539
and moderators of this general pattern, the relations between self-esteem and the Big Five
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 540
largely cut across age, sex, social class, ethnicity, and nationality (United States vs non-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 541
United States). High self-esteem individuals tended to ascribe socially desirable traits to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 542
themselves, and this tendency partially mediated relations between the Big Five and self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 543
esteem. Discussion focuses on interpreting the social desirability effects, limitations of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 544
Synthesis
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 546
According to the study, dental crowding is associated with various aspects of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 547
patients are experiencing teasing or in worst scenario bullying. There are physical aspects,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 549
particularly problems involving teeth that become the main issue on their psychosocial
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 550
affected in the social psychology of a person. It is said that self-concept has one major
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 552
constituent and that is self-esteem. Individuals with dental problems usually get negative
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 553
remarks because of their looks that lead to low self-evaluation and low self-esteem.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 554
considered hence aesthetic alteration can have a direct impact on self-esteem and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 556
ultimately the quality of life. However, we do not have enough and the very limited studies
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 557
which suggest that low self-esteem can be enhanced after orthodontic treatment. As self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 558
esteem is more of a psychological concept, therefore, some of the most common dental
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 559
disorders such as dental trauma, untreated carious lesions, and tooth loss may affect the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 560
self-esteem which may further influence the quality of life of an individual. But some people
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 561
claim that having a well and beautiful dental aesthetic will improve their lives. Most of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 562
respondents indicate that girls are more conscious of their physical and psychosocial
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 563
problems. They agreed that if dental problems like dental crowding are treated, they will
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 564
be accepted by society or in public and will boost their self-confidence. Majority of people
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 565
with dental problems tends to undergo procedures aesthetically to correct the alignment
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 566
of their teeth that cause them low self-esteem. Most dentists promote orthodontic
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 567
treatment such as braces to motivate patients with said concern for their improvement. In
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 568
orthodontic treatment.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 570
This paper also proposes that physical appearance is a major factor in the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 571
development of personality because people form opinions by what they see in a person
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 572
physically and respond to that person accordingly. In turn, people tend to fulfill the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 573
expectations they believe others have for them. Physical appearance and attractiveness
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 574
have an important role in our personality. There’s this undeniable factor that as we age,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 575
we become conscious with ourselves. One of the biggest factors which affect an
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 576
individual’s personality is dental health. Most teens and young adults nowadays become
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 577
conscious of how they speak or how they deliver words in front of many people. Yes, there
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 578
are many aspects which may cause this kind of situation but one’s dental condition
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 579
contributes most for this to happen and that is having crowded teeth. The researchers
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 580
utilized the Big Five Inventory Test, a type of personality test to accurately and consistently
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 581
measure the correlation between young adults having crowded teeth with the five
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 582
individual’s overall personality. The Big Five personality traits are a) Openness. This trait
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 584
features characteristics such as imagination and insight. People who are high in this trait
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 585
also tend to have a broad range of interests. They are curious about the world and other
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 586
people and eager to learn new things and enjoy new experiences. b) Conscientiousness.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 587
Standard features of this dimension include high levels of thoughtfulness, good impulse
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 588
and mindful of details. They plan ahead, think about how their behavior affects others, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 590
are high in extraversion are outgoing and tend to gain energy in social situations. Being
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 593
around other people helps them feel energized and excited. d) Agreeableness. This
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 594
personality dimension includes attributes such as trust, altruism, kindness, affection, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 595
moodiness, and emotional instability. Individuals who are high in this trait tend to

THE METHODOLOGY
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 609
Research Design
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 610
Study to describe and compare the similarities between Personality Traits and Self-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 612
Esteem. Quantitative research is defined as the gathering and analysis of quantifiable data
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 613
to produce statistical models and numbers to explain the data result. Hence, the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 614
researchers selected this design since it is more reliable in gathering information and it
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 615
will use statistics to simplify the findings and more effective in looking at the correlational
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 616
Research locale
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 618
The research conducted in the area of PINEDA, PASIG CITY which where the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 619
dental clinic of Dr. Catalino A. Turla III is being located. The researchers focused on the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 620
30 selected voluntarily respondents who met our criteria. This is the selected location of
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 621
the study for the reason that it was convenient for the data gathering.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 622
The researcher used the convenient sampling to be the method in gathering data
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 624
from the availability of the respondent. Convenient sampling is depending on the data
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 625
collected from individuals who were already available. It is also a particular type of non-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 626
probability sampling (Farrokhi, 2012). The selected participant for this study is from Dr.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 627
Catalino A. Turla III patients who must be experiencing a condition such as “crowded
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 628
teeth”. The criteria of the study are the respondent must have the condition of “crowded
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 629
teeth” and the participant must be a young adult age ranging 18 years old to 35 years old.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 630
Instrumentation
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 631
In this study the researchers adapted two kinds of instruments to gather data and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 632
the stable feelings of overall self-worth (RSES; Gale, 2008). It contains 10 related
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 636
statements are answered on a four-point scales ranging from strongly agree to strongly
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 638
disagree (Ryan, 2014). The estimated internal consistency reliability and tester-test
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 639
reliability of the RSES using Cronbach’s alpha and the Pearson Product Moment
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 640
Coefficient Correlation, respectively. The test is cost-free, and it is valid for the reason that
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 641
The Big Five Inventory Test is defined as the five general traits based on empirical,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 644
data-driven research. Human resources professionals frequently use the Big Five
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 645
workplace. For the reason that these dimensions are considered to be the essential traits
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 647
that make up an individual’s overall personality. The big five personality traits are: (a)
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 648
Openness is defined as individuals who like to explore new things and appreciate new
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 649
experiences. Openness contains traits is also being insightful and imaginative and having
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 650
trustworthy and courageous. It also includes traits such as being organized, methodic, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 652
Extraverts have the energy to interact with other people, while introverts get their energy
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 654
from within themselves. Extraversion contains the traits of being energetic, talkative, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 655
assertive. (d) Agreeableness is defined as individuals that are friendly, cooperative, and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 656
compassionate. An individual that has low agreeableness tend to be more distant. This
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 657
trait includes being kind, affectionate, and sympathetic. (e) Neuroticism is also known as
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 658
Emotional Stability. It is defined as the dimension relates to one’s emotional stability and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 659
degree.

Table 3 above shows the results of determining the correlation between personality

traits and self-esteem. As shown, the domain of openness has a significant correlation to

LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 816
esteem, therefore, reject the null hypothesis. The domain of extraversion has a significant

Table 4 shows that among the respondents of the study, behaviors for domain of

openness are manifested. The respondents agree that they see themselves as someone
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 852
who are curious about many different things as determined on the questionnaire with the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 853
highest weighted mean of 4.3. The respondent should know how to control their curiosity
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 854
due to the fact that it may cause possible harm to them especially when they are too
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 855
oblivious with their surroundings. In accordance with the study of Mr. Christopher Bergland
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 856
(2016) he says, “New research suggests that—although curiosity has many potent

4.1. The respondents with high level of consciousness may inspiration others or they may
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 880
contribute their positive trait to the people who are capable of procrastinating. Dr. Stephen
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 881
R. Covey (1989) once said to his book "Look at the word responsibility— “response-
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 882
ability”—the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 883
behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values,

someone who are full of energy as determined on the questionnaire with the highest

LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 915
extraversion to may help other people to contribute their positivity and energy especially
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 916
during down days. According to Christina DesMarias (2018) says “Right now there's an
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 917
energy field or aura around you that others can feel. Without saying anything you can emit
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 918
a sense of peace, calm and other positive feelings that can inspire, uplift and energize the

Table 7 shows the data gathered for the domain of agreeableness, all of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 949
mentioned behaviors are manifested. The respondents agree that they see themselves as
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 950
someone who are both helpful and unselfish with others and generally trusting, both with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 951
the highest weighted mean of 4.37. The respondents should preserve their good traits and
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 952
think of how they can influence other people to also be of help and unselfish with other
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 953
people. Also, they should be careful and as much as possible choose the people whom
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 954
they give their trust with. According to Joyce Meyer (2016), “it is impossible to be both
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 955
selfish and happy”. If you know you are doing something for yourself and not feeling happy
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 956
about it, then you are being selfish, and you have selected a thing of luxury. Sacrificing
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 957
your luxury is different than sacrificing your passion, if you can make a line and understand
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 958
the difference between these then you can be truly helpful to others if not completely
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 959
selfless. Also, trustworthiness, both on one’s own part as well as on the part of others
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 960
around him, allows an individual to have an ordered and low-risk life. Trust itself is a main
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 961
and vital building block in human relationships, and one can easily see how a lack of trust
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 962
can lead to a complete destruction of any and all relationships. An individual who is
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 963
untrustworthy is usually considered worthless, and often finds that he has no true friends.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 964
Conversely, an individual who is trustworthy is often considered highly valuable and will

LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 979
The table 8 shows that among the population of the study, behaviors for domain
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 986
of neuroticism are manifested. However, the respondents agree that that they see
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 987
themselves as someone who can be moody as determined on the questionnaire with the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 988
highest weighted mean of 3.73. The researcher recommends that people with high level
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 989
of neuroticism should learn how to control their moods and temper especially when facing
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 990
a critical situation with their environment. According to Mr. Kennedy (2018), people who
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 991
are moody shift between those emotions all the time. This can be because they are under
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 992
a lot of stress or they are naturally prone to emotional reactions. It could also be a sign
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 993
that someone has a hard time regulating their emotions or has another underlying
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 994
condition, either mental or physical. Hormones can also cause someone to act moody.

LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1026
themselves, but they don’t tend seek for self-improvement within themselves. According
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1027
to Corelli (2016), “….the formula for self-fulfillment that I came up with is this: Be
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1028

Summary of Findings
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1049
1. The computed mean gathered by the research for the self-esteem and each
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1050
domain of personality traits with its respective verbal interpretation, the self-esteem
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1051
has a mean of 2.9 wherein it was interpreted as Agree. The openness which has
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1052
a mean of 3.58 and agreeableness which has 3.82 were interpreted as Agree a
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1053
little. The conscientiousness which has a mean of 3.44, extraversion with a mean
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1054
of 3.26 and neuroticism with a mean 3 were all interpreted as Neither agree nor
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1055
disagree.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1056
2. The results obtained from the research for the correlation between the five domain
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1057
of personality traits and self-esteem among young adults with crowded-teeth, all
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1058
obtained from young adults with crowded teeth and reject the null hypothesis.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1060
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1061
Conclusion
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1062
After the researchers conducted the necessary procedure in the data gathering
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1063
and after the statistical computed the results show that there is a significant relationship
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1064
between self-esteem and in the five domains of personality traits. Therefore, Openness
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1065
has a significant weak positive relationship with self-esteem. The respondents are to be
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1066
considered as a young adult who is in the state of having a weak positive correlation
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1067
between personality traits in terms of openness and self-esteem due to the probable
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1068
reason that they are somehow contented on what they or whom they which resulting to
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1069
them not exploring and being open to new ideas anymore. Conscientiousness has a
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1070
significant moderately positive correlation to self-esteem. This simply pertains to the young
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1071
adults who have traits such as being organized, methodic, and thorough. But counterpart
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1072
to that some of them tend to be doubtful and weak in terms of dealing with other people.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1073
Extraversion has a weak positive correlation to self-esteem. In line with these young adults
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1074
tend to be an extrovert which means that they have the energy to interact with other
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1075
people, while some of them tend to be an introvert meaning they tend to get their energy
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1076
to self-esteem. This simply means that young adults tend to have a great performance in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1078
dealing or cooperating with other people otherwise they have a tendency to be distant in
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1079
esteem. This explains that young adults tend to be emotionally stable due to that they tend
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1081
to be more emotionally mature than the adolescences. But at some point, young adults
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1082
may also be emotionally unstable due to some circumstances. The researchers, therefore,
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1083
concluded that having a condition such as crowded teeth does affect the correlation
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1084
Recommendation
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1086
1. The future researcher can use this study as a reference for them to enhance
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1088
the data gathered and to have deeper research study with the respondents who haven’t
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1089
been a part of it to test the credibility and validity of the study conducted.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1090
2. This study has a limitation. The researchers used a small sample size of the
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1091
population of 30. Therefore, we recommend the future researcher to use a large sample
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1092
3. The future researcher may use this as a reference or expand this study by
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1094
using other more variables that can be possibly correlated in this study.

least once a month dental check-up to avert further teeth damage for the reason that they
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1097
could enhance and improve his or her personality traits as long with their self-esteem.
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1098
5. With this condition and study the researchers are encouraging people with
LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION SCHOOL 1099
6. The future research can use this reference to deeper their knowledge on how
