Schebetenko, S. A. Reflected Attitudes to Personality Features as a Predictor of Students’ Academic Success

Abstract: In this article Schebetenko offers a definition of the ‘reflected attitude to personality feature’ as an individual opinion on what his significant others view as a positive or negative personality feature. In terms of the five-factor model of personality (McCrae & Costa, 1996, 2013) this construct is viewed as a particular case of typical metacognitive adaptations. The latter represent the ‘thoughts about features’, i.e. the element of personality structure being monitored by an individual. 1030 university students participated in the research of how a reflected attitude to a personality feature may predict the academic success taking into account the statistical control of a particular personality feature and other metacognitive adaptations. This is a correlational research. The researcher has studied the Big Five of personality traits and metacognitive adaptations including dispositional efficiency, attitude to a feature, reflected feature and reflected attitude to a feature. The following indicators of academic success have been studied: results of the Russian language and mathematics USE and quarterly academic records. The main hypotheses have been proved by the means of correlation and hierarchic multiple regression analysis. Schebetenko has discovered that reflected attitudes to friendliness, diligence and neuroticism can make additional contribution to academic success, even after the statistical control of a personality feature and other metacognitive adaptations associated with it. The researcher proves that the particular influence of a reflected attitude to personality traits can make an individual to positively react to these features among other people, for example, students or lecturers. Generally speaking, this can lead to the formation of a certain environment around an individual which, in particular, can stimulate his academic activity.

Keywords:

personality features, social attitudes, intersubjectivity, five-factor model, academic success, USE (Unified State Exam), friendliness, diligence, neuroticism, metacognition.
