Age 13 through 16 is considered early adolescence and 17 through 21 is late adolescence (Wolman, 1989). The bourne adolescence is comm lone(prenominal) used to describe the transitional stage of physical and psychological come upment between childhood and adulthood. There is no one scientific commentary of adolescence or set age boundary. There is a key dampenment change that nearly all adolescents experience during their transition from childhood to adulthood. This time frame, however, not only describes a very diverse reality, but adolescence varies considerably across cult ures, over time, and within various(prenominal)s (Kaplan, 2004).Personality is dynamic which depends on organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his or her unique adjustment to his environment .personality is what a man really is (Allport,1975) .Personality can be defined as the unique pattern of behavioral and mental processes that characterize an individual and the individuals interactions with the environment (Crider others, 1993). Each man is individual to the dimensions of personality.Because of this difference in personality some women wanted only to look after their family and some women wanted to engage in work outside of their home.Veroff and fello (1970) mentioned that the aim of the women who have professional values are education and working life, whereas the aim of the family related house women are marriage and bringing up their children.French and lesses (1964) have sh consume in their research that the ancient mentality base d on women who Have definite goals demonstrate good skill when they run across their role as a wife and as a mother.Majority of Bangladeshi women play a role as a housewife more than a working women, but the women who are residing in the cities are beginning to establish their own profession. Huq (1981) has shown in a research that 55% of working women in the town are the principle earning person of the family, 20% work for filling up the shortage of each others income, 6% work to pass their time, 12% work for utilizing their education and 4% work for enjoying their freedom through their profession.

And family responsibilities are more crucial for women than careers (Khan Amanullah ),1998 .

Islam Rahman (1991) open up that the housewife mothers make their children more dependent than working mothers and they become more protective of their female child than of their male child and encourages the male child to develop their language skill .on the other hand, a working mother makes their male child more dependent than their female child and greatly influence them to develop their language skill .The hypothesis of this research assumed that there are differences in personality of adolescents between working and non-working mother, indicating there would be a difference among four dimensions of the personality like Extraversion (E), Neuroticism (N), psychoticism (P), and Lie scale (L), in the two groups.Aims The aim of this research project is to Understand adolescents personality.
