Question:

What traits of the "Big Five" are related to academic achievement, particularly in adolescents?

Author: Ahmad Danial



Answer:

With respect to schools and learning, a strong link exists between academic achievement and openness and conscientiousness. This is likely the result of conscientious students being able to set learning goals, regulate their behaviour, and persist until goals are met. Similarly, students open to experiences may achieve higher because they respect and appreciate knowledge and discovery (Caprara, Vecchione, Alessandri, Gerbino, & Barbaranelli, 2011; Zuffiano et al., 2013).
