Understanding Contemporary Egyptian Personality: A Cultural Perspective on Multidimensional Personality Structure

This study aimed to examine the psychometric structure of contemporary Egyptian personality by developing and standardizing a multidimensional scale. The preliminary version of the scale was reviewed by a panel of experts in psychology, sociology, and mental health to establish content validity. The scale was then administered to a sample of 300 participants drawn from various Egyptian governorates. To examine construct validity, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted using the Principal Components method with orthogonal Varimax rotation. The results revealed a clear six-factor structure representing the following dimensions: religious–moral, social, political, cultural, psychological, and economic. These factors accounted for an adequate proportion of the total variance. Reliability analyses using Cronbach’s alpha, Spearman–Brown, and Guttman coefficients demonstrated acceptable to high levels of reliability for both the total score and the subscales. The findings support the validity of the proposed instrument as a standardized psychometric measure for assessing contemporary Egyptian personality in psychological and social research.
