Zusammenfassung

El concepto de compromiso académico se define como un estado psicológico de realización y compromiso con la tarea realizada. Los factores de personalidad pueden ayudar a comprender por qué algunos estudiantes muestran un estado mental positivo relacionado con sus estudios y otros muestran una falta de implicación. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las características de personalidad de una muestra de estudiantes de enfermería basada en el modelo Big Five y analizar las diferencias en la implicación académica a partir de estos perfiles. Los participantes fueron 90 estudiantes de enfermería. Se calcularon los coeficientes de correlación de Pearson y se realizó un análisis de varianza multivariado. Los resultados mostraron que la existencia de implicación académica se asocia positivamente con Extraversión, Amabilidad, Responsabilidad y Apertura, y negativamente con Neuroticismo. Los estudiantes clasificados en el primer clúster, definido por un perfil de Neuroticismo alto y puntuaciones bajas en el resto de rasgos de personalidad, tuvieron una menor presencia de implicación académica. En el segundo grupo, definido por bajo Neuroticismo y alta Extraversión, Amabilidad, Apertura y Responsabilidad, la presencia de implicación fue mayor. En conclusión, las evaluaciones de personalidad e implicación académica pueden ser herramientas de medición útiles para conocer el funcionamiento académico de los estudiantes y poder llevar a cabo estrategias encaminadas a prevenir las consecuencias del estrés académico enlos alumnos más vulnerables
