“…Conscientiousness personality trait includes both fostering and hampering aspects. Fostering aspects are shown in achievement need and decisiveness; hampering aspects are shown in punctiliousness, excessive cautiousness and perfectionism [40,61,66]. However, a significant relationship cannot be found between dimensions of conscientiousness and forgiveness of others under this study.…”

“…Extrovert individuals are generally vivacious, active, sociable, optimistic, happy and have positive feelings [40]. According to the literature, extraversion personality trait has a positive significant relationship with some variables such as patience [16], psychological well-being [58], self-compassion [2], satisfaction in intimate relationships [37] and positive perfectionism [66]; but a negative significant relationship with other variables such as anxiety, depression [29] and mortality risk [21]. It is not unexpected but also an important result that extraversion which has aforementioned features, predicts the concept of self-forgiveness which is a significant variable in terms of psychological well-being.…”

The aim of the study is to investigate forgiveness levels of university students in terms of self-compassion, rumination and personality traits. A descriptive-correlational was used and self-administered questionnaires were conducted in this study. Participants of the study were 840 university students (460 females, 380 males) from different faculties of Pamukkale University chosen by random cluster sampling method. In this study, forgiveness was measured with Heartland Forgiveness Scale; self-compassion was measured with Self-compassion Scale; rumination was measured with Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense Scale, and personality traits were measured with Adjective Based Personality Scale. To examine the predictive power of self-compassion, rumination and personality traits on forgiveness, hierarchical regression analysis was used. According to the results of the study, among university students, self-compassion and extraversion are both significant predictors of self-forgiveness. And also, both of them predict self-forgiveness positively. However, rumination, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness of personality traits do not predict self-forgiveness. Also according to results, among university students, self-compassion, rumination and extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness are significant predictors of forgiveness of others. While self-compassion, extraversion and agreeableness predict forgiveness of others positively, rumination and conscientiousness predict negatively. Implications of these findings are discussed within the context of literature.

Negative perfectionism was positively related to neuroticism, but negatively associated to extraversion and agreeableness (Dunkley et al, 2006;Ulu & Tezer, 2010). Khodarihimi (2010) found significant negative correlation coefficients between perfectionism, neuroticism, and agreeableness, but no significant correlation coefficients between perfectionism, extraversion, openness to experience and conscientiousness.…”

“…Openness to experience refers to needs for variety, novelty, and change; conscientiousness refers to strong sense of purpose and high aspiration levels; extraversion refers to preference for companionship and social stimulation; agreeableness refers to willingness to defer to others during interpersonal conflict; while neuroticism refers to tendency to experience dysphonic affect such as sadness, hopelessness, and guilt (McCrae & Costa, 2008). Many literatures indicate that perfectionism is associated with the Big Five personality factors (Dunkley et al, 2006;Khodarahimi, 2010;Navarez & Cayubit, 2011;Ulu & Tezer, 2010). Positive perfectionism was found to be positively related to www.ccsenet.org/ass Asian Social Science Vol.…”

This study focuses on the examination of Big Five personality factors and perceived parenting styles in predicting positive and negative perfectionism among academically gifted students. Through cross-sectional random sampling procedures, 448 form four students (16 years old) involved particularly those who scored straight A's in Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR). The participants responded to three related instruments, comprises of the International Personality Item Pool, Parental Authority Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. The study utilized K-Mean cluster analysis to cluster the perfectionism of the students.Stepwise multiple regressions used to determine the role of Big Five personality factors and perceived parenting styles in predicting positive and negative perfectionism. The findings showed 259 (57.8%), 136 (30.4%), and 53 (11.8%) students were clustered to dysfunctional/neurotic perfectionistic, healthy/normal perfectionistic, and non-perfectionistic, respectively. The results of two separate stepwise multiple regression analyses found that positive perfectionism was significantly predicted by several factors including paternal authoritative style, openness to experiences, maternal authoritative style, and conscientiousness. On the other hand, negative perfectionism was significantly predicted by maternal authoritarian style, neuroticism, and paternal authoritarian style. As predicted, permissive parenting style showed no contribution in predicting positive and negative perfectionism. Implications, limitations, and recommendation of the study are addressed briefly in this research. In fact, this is one of the first empirical studies of perfectionism relating to Big Five personality factors and perceived parenting styles among academically gifted students in Malaysia.

“…The extreme Grit learners may focus too much on student personal interest or the involved project, which may result in maladaptive perfectionism or obsessive passion. The stronger trait of Grit might be detrimental to social-emotional coping, well-being, and mental health (Ulu and Tezer, 2010). In the classroom level, students might be pressured to study uninterested learning materials or unrelated contents to their life experiences.…”

Grit, one of the newly developed non-cognitive traits, encompasses the characteristics of perseverance and consistency of interest. Grit is associated with good academic performance, resilience, and well-being. To understand the nature of Grit in detail, this study probed the relationship between Grit and the widely-applied and well-established Big-Five personality. Family context plays a significant role in nurturing all aspects of personality traits. Accordingly, we examined two family-context variables, namely family influence and democratic parenting style, which may be predictive of Grit, particularly in an Asian context. A total of 1504 students from one private comprehensive high school participated. Multiple linear regression was conducted to determine how the various independent variables affect Grit characteristics. The results indicate that grittier high school learners tend to display higher self-report academic performance and academic satisfaction. Multiple regression demonstrated that the four Big-Five personality traits: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Intellect/Imagination, are significantly predictive of Grit, with the exception of Extraversion. While family influence is predictive of Grit, democratic parenting style does not predict Grit. Based on the results, several possible explanations and suggestions are proposed.
