摘要

本文通过对墨西哥公立小学儿童的调查，探讨了大五人格特质与学校成绩之间的关系。线性学校固定效应估计控制了家庭收入、主要照顾者的教育、智商和人格特征，表明较高的尽责性和亲和性与所有科目的高中表现一致且显著相关，净儿童智商。一项基于回归的不平等分解表明，孩子的个性在女孩和男孩的数学不平等中分别占5.1%和6.5%，而在西班牙语中，它分别占3.9%和8.0%。使用奥斯特界，结果对不可观察的混杂因素具有鲁棒性。

Children's Personality and Its Contribution to School Grades Inequality: Evidence From Mexico

We explore the relationship between Big-5 Personality Traits and school grades, using a novel survey of state primary school children in Mexico. Linear school fixed-effects estimates controlling for household income, principal caregiver's education, IQ, and personality traits indicate that higher conscientiousness and agreeableness consistently and significantly correlate with high school performance in all subjects, net of child's IQ. A regression-based inequality decomposition shows that a child's personality accounts for 5.1% and 6.5% of the inequality in mathematics for girls and boys, whereas for Spanish, it accounts for 3.9% and 8.0%, respectively. Results are robust to unobservable confounders using Oster bounds.
