Objective: The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits and
psychological capital and academic adjustment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional research study. The study population comprised all male
and female students at the University of Kashan in February-March 2018. A total of 360 (190
females and 170 males) students were selected by cluster sampling method. The Adjustment
Inventory for College Students (AICS), HEXACO Personality Inventory, and Luthans
Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) were used to collect data. To analyze the obtained
data, a regression analysis was run by SPSS.
Results: The analysis suggested a significant relationship between academic adjustment and
honesty-humility (r=-0.19, P<0.01), emotionality (r=0.14, P<0.01), extraversion (r=-0.14,
P<0.01), and conscientiousness (r=-0.32, P<0.01). Besides, a significant correlation was
observed between academic adjustment and psychological capital (r=-0.17, P<0.01). The
regression analysis results revealed that conscientiousness, emotionality, and honesty-humility
predicted 13% of the variance in academic adjustment. Moreover, regression analysis results
indicated that hopefulness predicted 3% of the variance in academic adjustment.
Conclusion: The study results indicated a relationship between personality traits and
psychological capital and academic adjustment. Furthermore, educational-counseling
interventions oriented on personality and psychological capital could help promote student’s
academic adjustment.
