Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of environmental thoughts in personality development among Pakistani young adults using a qualitative research design and a convenience sampling technique. This study gathered data through semi-structured interviews with ten students aged 18 to 25. The data were evaluated using thematic analysis, uncovering key themes. It is further aimed at understanding environmental thoughts, environmental personality, and personality changes due to ecological upheavals. The well-defined socio-cultural environment makes understanding the individual’s personality development easier. It was found that the role of environmental thoughts in personality development was positive but there were also some negative impacts on personality development. This study helps sociologists and researchers in the field of social psychology. It facilitates researchers in further work regarding personality development and environmental factors influencing human personality.
