The Relationship between Higher Order Personality Factors and Student Adjustment.
Mann, Michael P.
This study examined the relationship of the five-factor model of personality (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and intellect) to college student adjustment. Using a sample of 200+ undergraduate students at a large public university, it was found that emotional stability correlated positively with goal commitment/institutional attachment. In addition, at a less significant level, agreeableness and extroversion associated positively with academic and social adjustment, while conscientiousness associated negatively with these two indices of college student adjustment.
