Abstract
To assess the relationships between behavioral executive functions, personality dimensions and cognitive style in a sample of adolescents. Forty-five participants (51.1% females) aged 10 – 14 years old performed individually, a set of behavioral (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function: Self-Report-Teacher-Parent forms) executive functions, personality (Big Five Questionnaire – Children and Adolescents) and cognitive style (Matching Familiar Figures Test) tests. Moderate and significant correlations were found between behavioral executive functions scores, dimensions of personality (conscientiousness, openness, extroversion and agreeableness) and cognitive style. Correlations between informants (parents and teachers) for behavioral executive functions ratings were moderate and positive. As in other studies, these results suggest relationships between executive functions, personality traits and cognitive styles. Implications of the results and the limitations of the study are discussed.
