Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the role of recreational physical activity in developing certain personality traits (dominance, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability) among assisted childhood children in the Wilaya of Tamanrasset who are enrolled at the Pedagogical Center for Assisted Childhood. The descriptive method was employed, and a purposive sample of 30 students was selected, divided into two groups: 10 students engaged in recreational physical activity and 10 non-engaged students. The "Gordon Allport Personality Traits Scale," translated into Arabic by "Jaber and Abu Hatab," was applied after determining the sample and research tools. Observation, a key method for gathering information about phenomena and situations requiring researcher attention, was utilized. The results revealed that recreational physical activity plays a significant role in developing and enhancing personality traits (dominance, responsibility, emotional stability, and sociability) among orphaned children.
