Abstract
This study examines the self-concepts and opinions of Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers and University of Arlington undergraduate students that are declared Criminal Justice majors. Both groups have been surveyed to also explore how CPS caseworkers and UTA students feel that they are viewed by others. This was done in an attempt to establish what similarities and differences exist between personality traits of CPS caseworkers and UTA students. The data in this study was obtained from surveys given to a sample of CPS caseworkers in Wichita County, Texas and University of Arlington (UTA) undergraduate Criminal Justice students that were enrolled in classes during the fall 2007 semester.
