Objective To understand the personality characteristics and self-consciousness of Muslim female orphans in an orphanage,so as to provide scientific basis for further psychological intervention. Methods The general situation questionnaire,Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ for children) and Piers Harris child self-awareness scale (PHCSS) were used to investigate 40 Muslim female children in an orphanage in from February to May in 2014. At the same time,a control study was conducted on 254 other Muslim girls in the same school. Results Muslim female orphans(2. 90±2. 82) got lower scores than the normal Muslim female group(4. 28±2. 82) and the national girl norm(4. 27±2. 24) in P dimension,the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 01). But the scores in L dimension(16. 83±3. 44) were significantly higher compared with normal Muslim female group(13. 56±4. 31) and the national girl norm(14. 41±3. 65)(P<0. 01),and the scores in E dimension(13. 90±4. 37) were significantly lower than that of the national girl norm(16. 34±3. 44) (P<0. 01). The scores in gregarious factor of Muslim female orphans group(7. 83±1. 97) was significantly lower than normal Muslim female children(9. 13±1. 78) (P<0. 05),and the other factors of self-awareness and total scores were significantly lower than those of the Chinese urban girl norm except for behavioral factors and anxiety factor (P<0. 01). The personality deviation of Muslim female orphan group(50. 0%,60. 0%)were significantly higher than normal Muslim female group(21. 7%,27. 6%) in the E and L dimension (P<0. 01). The relatives and friends group got significantly higher scores in N dimension compared with siblings' group(14. 00±7. 62,6. 40±2. 88,P<0. 05). But the grandparent group got significantly lower scores in L dimension compared with siblings' group(15. 92±3. 75,19. 80±0. 45,P<0. 05). Each factor score of EPQ was not statistically different between different academic performance groups in Muslim female orphans,but was statistically different in self-consciousness total score,as well as behavioral and gregarious factor scores (P<0. 05 or <0. 01). The poorer academic performance,the more obvious the character and behavioral defects. Conclusion The mental health condition of Muslim female orphans is poor,obviously in character limitations and low level of self-consciousness.
