“Rasgos de personalidad y habilidades sociales en individuos pertenecientes a la subcultura Otaku”

Abstract

The present research aimed to establish the relationship between personality traits and social skills of the Otaku subculture. It was performed in 50 volunteers belonging to the Otaku subculture. Personality traits were tested with the BFQ, Questionary “Big Five”. The Social Skills were tested with Goldstein's inventory of social skills. The statistical method to test the hypotheses was Chi-square (x²). This allowed us to verify that personality traits do not influence the social skills of individuals belonging to the Otaku sub culture. It was identified that the predominant personality trait is the trait of Distortion 17 (33.3%). On the other hand, the feature with the lowest number of percentages in the results is that of affability 7 (13.7%). The predominant social skills are the first social skills 27 (52.9%) and the group with the lowest frequency is the ability to cope with stress.
