Islamic Personality Model: A Conceptual Framework

The field of personality or individual psychology has attracted a lot of researchers around the world to devote their efforts in conceptualizing, assessing, and establishing the nomological nets of various personality models and theories. However, some models and theories of personality are limited in their utilization. For example, there are a lot of instances where researchers are unable to derive a clear factor structure when applying the Big Five Personality Traits in their research works due to cultural and values incompatibility. Therefore, this paper attempts to conceptualize and develop a measure of Islamic Personality Model that addresses the issue of incompatibility through the application of both qualitative and quantitative research design. The proposed model will contribute all communities in addressing the role of Islamic Personality in psychology related fields. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
