Hexaco Personality Traits and College Student Performance: a Person-Centric Approach
Research has consistently shown that some personality traits meaningfully relate to positive aspects of student performance (e.g., McAbee et al., 2014, 2019; Poropat, 2009), and specifically, conscientiousness demonstrates the strongest relationship with student GPA (e.g., McAbee & Oswald, 2013;...

| Summary: | Research has consistently shown that some personality traits meaningfully relate to positive aspects of student performance (e.g., McAbee et al., 2014, 2019; Poropat, 2009), and specifically, conscientiousness demonstrates the strongest relationship with student GPA (e.g., McAbee & Oswald, 2013; Poropat, 2009); however, GPA is not the only metric of student success. For instance, Oswald et al. (2004) identified twelve dimensions of student performance based on various college mission statements (e.g., appreciation for diversity). Alternatively, personality traits also are effective in predicting counterproductive student behaviors (CSBs); however, relatively less attention has been paid to this aspect student behavior (Crede & Niehorster, 2009; De Vries et al., 2011). Relating to this, research has primarily investigated personality using a variable-centric approach and there has been a noticeable lack of work in this area that leverages a person-centric (i.e., within-person) design. As such, the current study implements a person-centric approach for understanding personality-performance relations to examine profiles of the HEXACO personality traits. Five distinct profiles are identified in the current dataset, which are then linked to specific (un)successful student outcomes. |
