Abstract

In the eagerness of granting a broad vision to Psychology, Gordon Allport establishes the Theory of Traits; focused on individual differences and the development of instruments to measure personality dimensions. Following this current, Costa Jr. and McCrae propose the Model of the Five Personality Factors, to organize in five dimensions: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, kindness and responsibility; the attitudinal and behavioral tendencies that characterize individuals. It has been shown that this taxonomic model allows to describe and identify the personal characteristics of the adolescent population, in order to strengthen the functional features and prevent risk behaviors. Therefore, the objective of this essay was to make a comparative-personological analysis of the protagonists of the film "The Breakfast Club", through the use of a bibliographical descriptive research methodology. The observation of audiovisual material together with the literature review of the Model of the Five Personality Factors of Costa Jr. and McCrae, detailed in the Neo Revised Personality Inventory NEO PI-R, and the Baumrind and Maccoby’s classification of parenting styles, allowed to establish an approach to the personality trends of protagonists. In the film it was evident that the characters, particularly through a fragile period in their lives to be immersed in an unfavorable family and institutional context, characteristics that influence the personality and behaviors developed throughout the plot.
