Abstract

Abstract: We investigated, to what extent Conscientiousness can predict academic performance in a real application high-stakes setting. N = 267 applicants for a place at a university completed a Conscientiousness questionnaire during the selection process and 6 weeks after they commenced their studies. Students’ academic grades were used as criterion variables. The results suggest that the high-stakes setting increases the level of Conscientiousness reported, that not all applicants change their answers to the same extent and that the high-stakes setting decreases the criterion-related validity, but Conscientiousness remains a useful predictor for academic performance in high-stakes settings.

自觉性可以预测学习成绩--即使在高分环境中也是如此
摘要:我们研究了 "自觉性 "在多大程度上可以预测实际应用中高风险环境下的学习成绩。N = 267 名大学入学申请人在选拔过程中和入学 6 周后填写了一份 "认真度 "问卷。学生的学业成绩被用作标准变量。结果表明,高风险环境会提高所报告的自觉性水平,并非所有申请者都会在相同程度上改变他们的答案,而且高风险环境会降低与标准相关的有效性,但自觉性仍然是高风险环境下预测学习成绩的有用指标。
