AKADEMİK BAŞARI VE KİŞİLİK İLİŞKİSİ: ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİ ÜZERİNDE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik başarıları ile beş faktörlü kişilik özellikleri arasındaki olası ilişkileri incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemi, Ankara ve İstanbul’da bulunan iki devlet üniversitesindeki 458 öğrenciyi (284’ü erkek, 174’ü kadın) kapsamaktadır. Araştırmada incelenen kişilik özellikleri, Beş Faktörlü Kişilik Kuramı’na dayalı olarak yazında mevcut olan envanterlerden istifade edilerek geliştirilen bir ölçek vasıtasıyla, öğrencilerin akademik başarıları ise genel not ortalamaları temel alınarak ölçülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda, beş faktörlü kişilik özelliklerinden dışa dönüklük haricinde, sorumluluk, uyumluluk, duygusal denge ve açıklık faktörlerinin akademik başarı ile olumlu yönde ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tüm değişkenlerin çoklu regresyon modelinde ele alınmasıyla, sorumluluğun akademik başarıyı yordayan en önemli özellik olduğu ve bunu açıklık özelliğinin izlediği görülmüştür. Buna ilave olarak, bu çalışma ile geliştirilen beş faktörlü kişilik ölçeğinin psikometrik özelliklerinin kısmen tatmin edici düzeyde olduğu ve ileriki çalışmalarda kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır
