Social Networks In The Classroom: Personality Factors As Antecedents Of Student Social Capital

Abstract: This study examines personality factors as antecedents of student social capital. We hypothesize relationships between two constructs taken from the five-factor model of personality (agreeableness and extraversion) and two variables that reflect a students social capital (quantity of ties and strength of ties) in an academic setting. Analysis of roster-based, sociometric data suggests that agreeableness is associated with higher quantity of ties, but not higher tie strength. In contrast, extraversion is linked… Show more

“…The reason why limited space is used in the study is that the number of researched and compared relations increase exponentially with the number of volunteers. Therefore studies in which sociometric data is collected and use a matrix approach usually have 40 or fewer samples (Seevers et al 2015). For that reason, it can be concluded that the sample used in this study is adequate for sociometric research.…”

“…Given the findings described above, indicating that social ties and social interaction are consistently associated with course satisfaction in the literature, it is important to take this variable into account when examining students' satisfaction with eLearning. Furthermore, in light of findings indicating that introverts and extraverts differ from one another in patterns of online social behavior (Amichai-Hamburger et al, 2002) and in social capital (Seevers et al, 2015), it is important to examine the interplay between introversion and social ties in online learning satisfaction. As described above, a previous study found that following the transition to remote eLearning, extraverts reported missing face-to-face interactions with peers to a greater extent that introverts (Stephen and McCormick-Pritchard, 2021), which has the potential to negatively influence their course satisfaction.…”
