Thomas, Morris Henry Romando <p>Little research has been conducted to examine the learning styles and personality type preferences among African American college students. This descriptive correlational study examined the relationship between knowing style, gender conditioning and personality type preferences of African American college students ages 18-25. Initially, 148 students completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument-Form M, of which 129 provided usable data. The 129 students who completed the study were invited for the interview and 66 participated. The Mansfield and Clinchy protocol was used for the interview section of this study. The results of the interview and the MBTI indicated that, regardless of gender, 84% of Thinking types respondents were rated as Separate knowers while 77% of the feeling types were rated as Connected knowers. Thinking types males, 85% were more likely to prefer Separate knowing while 83% of Thinking women preferred the Separate knowing style; 88% of Feeling type females preferred the Connected knowing style while 64% of Feeling type males preferred the Connected knowing style. Generalized Linear Model for Binomial Models (GLM) was used to analyze the quantitative data for this study. In this study the effect of type is significant with knowing style at the significant level 0.00 whereas the effect of gender is not at the 0.0799 with the knowing style. It was concluded that personality type is more associated with the Separate and Connected knowing styles than gender.</p> 2005 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1303140186 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1303140186 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
