✦ Synopsis

The objective of this research is to analyse the relationships between personality traits, learning strategies, and performance. Two multivariate studies ( N = 139 and N = 92) were conducted. In both studies factor analyses of the learning strategies yielded two factors. One factor, labelled, 'learning discipline', correlated highly with the Conscientiousness scale and the other factor, labelled, 'elaboration', correlated with the Openness of Experience scale. In Study 1, about 17 per cent of the variance in college grades was accounted for by personality scales and learning strategies. In Study 2, learning strategies accounted for about 31 per cent of the variance in college grades. Path analyses showed that the relations between basic personality traits and grades were mediated by the learning strategies.
