Abstract:

Studies on personality and crime have reported that adults with certain personality traits are more likely to be involved in crime (Eysenck, 1996; O’Riordan & O’Connell, 2014) and aggression (Ferguson et al., 2008). Links have also been made between misbehaviour at school and heightened risk of criminality after school (Chen, 2008). However, the literature to date appears to overlook the intermediary link – whether there is evidence to suggest that high school student misbehaviour is related to the student’s personality. This topic is of importance to school staff regarding student personal de

Abstract:

This study aimed to identify student-level variables that influence academic outcomes, and to determine the extent of their influence. In Study 1, final year secondary students (N = 654) completed a questionnaire gathering demographic information and measuring possible influencing variables. A number of these variables predicted academic achievement, including demographic, attitudinal, personality, study strategy and intelligence variables. Mathematical intelligence was the strongest predictor of achievement for all three achievement variables used, and was followed by school decile. Openness

<p> The purpose of this project is to create a career planning guidebook for undergraduate hospitality management students. This guidebook will allow students to determine what their interests are in various hospitality careers. Students’ interests will be determined by performing a self assessment via the web based O*Net Interest Profiler™ instrument. The Interest Profiler report will identify students’ interests based on the six personality types adapted from John Holland’s typology of personality types and work environments.</p>

Traditionally, college and universities have relied on achievement indicators to estimate students' potential for success. More current researchers have demonstrated that other noncognitive factors provide incremental predictive validity to traditional achievement measures in predicting student success. This study is intended to contribute to the scholarly work in this regard by examining the mediating role that student engagement has on the relationship between Big Five personality traits and student success for Hispanic, two-year college students.

Psychopathic personality is associated with a myriad of social and behavioral problems including violence, criminal activity, and overall failure to conform to social standards. In this study, psychopathic and antisocial personality traits are measured in a sample of college students via self-report surveys using questions derived from Hare's Psychopathic Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; 1991).

Recent studies have suggested that certain personality attributes may be consistent with successful leadership ability (Bass, 1990; Hogan, Curphy, & Hogan, 1994).

Performance appraisal ratings provide the basis for numerous employment decisions, including retention, promotion, and salary increases. Thus, understanding the factors affecting the accuracy of these ratings is important to organizations and employees.
