Relationship of personality factors measured by the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C) and academic achievement in a Croatian sample
The aim of the research was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the BFQ-C on a sample of children in Croatia and to evaluate the relationship between personality traits and academic achievement. The research encompassed 825 primary school students aged 8 to 14 years. An analysis of gender differences revealed that girls achieve higher results on the Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Emotional Instability. Statistically significant correlations were achieved between academic achievement and personality traits, showing a negative correlation with Emotional Instability and positive correlations with Mental Openness and Conscientiousness. Regression analysis showed that the major personality dimensions together account for approximately 10% of variance in academic achievement, where significant beta coefficients appear for the dimensions of Emotional Instability and Mental Openness. The results generally indicate that personality traits from the Big Five model can, to a certain degree, account for the variance of academic achievement in children.
