“…With regard to the relationship between personality and AP, the results support the hypothesis that personality is significantly related to academic performance but varies with subject (Blickle, 1996;Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2003a;Child, 1964;Heaven et al, 2007;Goff & Ackerman, 1992;Rindermann & Neubauer, 2001). It is the latter finding which makes this study uniquely interesting.…”

“…They emphasized the idea of domain specific predictors meaning different individual difference factors (i.e., personality traits) are differentially related to different test scores (i.e., maths, languages). Heaven, Ciarrochi, and Vialle (2007) found similar results in a study of Australian 12 year olds. Whilst they found verbal and numerical ability scores the best predictors of grades in all subjects (particularly English, Maths and Science, but also religious studies, visual art and design), Conscientiousness was also a significant personality trait predictor.…”

“…This will support a range of recent empirical studies that have established a link between personality measures and several types of AP (Blickle, 1996;Goff & Ackerman, 1992;Heaven et al, 2007;Rindermann & Neubauer, 2001;Lounsbury et al, 2003). In particular it is expected that; H1a: There will be a significant positive correlation between Conscientiousness and AP.…”

“…In particular it is expected that; H1a: There will be a significant positive correlation between Conscientiousness and AP. This is based on the finding that those who are more conscientious, are more likely to be determined and independently motivated to achieve (Furnham, 2001ab;Heaven et al, 2007;O'Connor & Paunonen, 2007). Conscientious students are likely to work hard, complete work, strive to achieve and have high attendance, which we would expect to help those students achieve higher academic grades (Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2003a;De Raad & Schouwenburg, 1996).…”

and Tomas CHAMORRO-PREMUZIC 2)2) Goldsmiths College London, UK This study examined personality trait and intelligence scores as predictors of schoollevel academic performance (AP) (British GCSE; America Grade 10) in various arts (i.e. languages) and science subjects. The participant sample consisted of 80 school pupils from a British Sixth Form College. Conscientiousness and Openness-toExperience of the Big Five personality factors (Costa & McCrae, 1992) were found to account for 13% of unique variance in AP. Intelligence (Wonderlic, 1992) accounted for the initial 10% of unique variance in AP. For science subjects (maths, science) intelligence accounted for more of the variance than personality traits, while for English language (literature, language) subjects the opposite was true. The results further support the use of personality measures being used in academic selection procedures and confirms that personality can predict AP at school level. Limitations of the study are discussed.

The transition from secondary education to higher education could be challenging for most freshmen. For students who fail to adjust to university life smoothly, their status may worsen if the university cannot offer timely and proper guidance. Helping students adapt to university life is a long-term goal for any academic institution. Therefore, understanding the nature of the maladaptation phenomenon and the early prediction of "at-risk" students are crucial tasks that urgently need to be tackled effectively. This article aims to analyze the relevant factors that affect the maladaptation phenomenon and predict this phenomenon in advance. We develop a prediction framework (MAladaptive STudEnt pRediction, MASTER) for the early prediction of students with maladaptation. First, our framework uses the SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) algorithm to solve the data label imbalance issue. Moreover, a novel ensemble algorithm, priority forest, is proposed for outputting ranks instead of binary results, which enables us to perform proactive interventions in a prioritized manner where limited education resources are available. Experimental results on real-world education datasets demonstrate that the MASTER framework outperforms other state-of-art methods.
