Personality Traits and Learning Styles in Undergraduate Students
Year: 2025

Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to determine the association between personality traits and learning styles in university students. For this purpose, a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational methodological design was used, where the sample consisted of 379 undergraduate students from four study programs: psychology, business administration, systems engineering, and environmental engineering, from a public university in Lima. Non-probabilistic, self-selected, and convenience sampling was used. For data collection, the subjects were surveyed using a virtual form and the instruments used were the BFI-15 and Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory. When the statistical analysis was performed, it was found that there was no association between the variables examined, so it was concluded that the probability of presenting certain personality traits was not associated with the learning styles of the participants.
