    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding personality traits in nurses is crucial for effective role conception.
    • Beginning nurses' perceptions of their roles can be influenced by personality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationships between personality variables (ego development, sex typing, assertiveness) and role conceptions in beginning nurses.
    • To determine the contribution of these personality variables to role conception combinations.

    Main Methods:

    • 101 beginning nurses completed four self-completion questionnaires.
    • Correlation analysis and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used.

    Main Results:

    • Femininity (F) and masculinity-femininity (MF) sex-typing attributes were the strongest predictors of role conceptions.
    • Assertiveness was linked to professional role conception.
    • Nurses with high role conception combinations differed in personality scores, with androgynous sex typing and MF scores higher in those holding all three roles.

    Conclusions:

    • Sex typing, particularly femininity and masculinity-femininity, significantly influences how beginning nurses perceive their professional, service, and bureaucratic roles.
    • Personality attributes, including sex typing and assertiveness, play a role in shaping nurses' multifaceted role conceptions.
