PERCEIVED EFFECTS OF PERSONALITY TRAITS ON READING HABITS OF LAW STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA

Abstract

This study examined the perceived effects of personality traits on the reading habits of law students in universities in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey. The population of the study comprises law students of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State University, and Al-Hikmah University. The total number of law students is 1714 from the three (3) selected universities. The simple random sampling technique was adopted to give all the respondents an equal chance of being selected. The study used a sample size calculator for a population of 1714 to get a sample size of 324. The study used a questionnaire as an instrument for data collection, and percentage, table, frequency, and mean were used for analysis of research questions, and PPMC was used for the hypothesis. The study found out that extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience of personality traits have a significant influence on the reading habits of law students in Nigeria. The study also found out that the agreeableness personality trait has no influence on the reading habits of law students in Kwara State, as shown by the majority of respondents. The study also revealed there is a significant relationship between personality traits and the reading habits of law students. The study recommends that university management should offer reading materials that focus on empathy, teamwork, and conflict resolution to foster their cooperative nature. The concept of gender, culture, and ideology in translation will be examined to reflect how the translator's linguistic choices figure out the depiction of gendered dynamics and feminist struggle. The goal of this paper's results is to show how much the translation can either support, question, or analyze the feminist presence in the source text. This will give you an idea of how translation can be used to bring feminist discourse to people from different cultures.
