Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding factors associated with achievement and mechanisms underlying their relationships is critical for planning interventions and services to improve students’ performance and meet their needs. In the present study, the authors examined the predictive role of three Big Five personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience) on academic achievement within the sample of gifted students. Self-regulatory efficacy and autonomous and controlled types of motivation served as mediators in these relationships. Data were collected from 161 gifted middle and high school students. All three personality traits had direct associations with academic achievement. The indirect associations through specific pathways were estimated. Conscientiousness was mediated by self-regulatory efficacy and autonomous motivation, whereas openness was mediated by controlled motivation and autonomous motivation.

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
