Introduction:
As a result of the protective measures taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, German students experienced home study in the spring of 2020. The present study addressed the relation between coping with the home study situation and personality.
Methods:
The interrelations of the Big Five factors with students' well-being, study satisfaction and academic performance were examined in 287 German online participants.
Results:
The results showed significant positive correlations of positive affect and conscientiousness, as well as of better academic performance and academic satisfaction. For extraversion, a positive supporting effect on the affective level emerged, although previous studies suggested negative influences of extraversion on affect in home study settings in other phases of the pandemic. Furthermore, in contrast, neuroticism showed a negative relation to study satisfaction and mood in home study.
Conclusion:
In summary, the personalities of students should be considered in order to provide protective measures and avoid negative coping effects.
