我们研究了大五人格特质的责任心，尽责性，情绪稳定性，外向性和开放性，以及四个狭义的特质的攻击性，乐观，坚韧，工作驱动器与初中和高中学生的缺课。参与者是248名七年级学生，321名十年级学生和282名十二年级学生。大五缺席的相关性在所有3个年级水平的预期方向显着。而攻击性，乐观，工作驱动器显着相关的缺席，只有工作驱动器增加增量方差预测缺席以外的大五特质。各年级的研究结果基本相似。调查结果进行了讨论，在性格缺勤，大五特质模型的概括性，以及更多的窄带性状的效用。得出的影响，早期识别缺席倾向的学生和先例的作用，性格变量在学校缺席的研究，对其他变量，程序和干预措施的影响。
We examined the Big Five personality traits of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Extraversion, and Openness, as well as four narrower traits of Aggression, Optimism, Tough-Mindedness, and Work Drive in relation to absences from school for middle- and high-school students. Participants were 248 seventh grade students, 321 tenth grade students, and 282 twelfth grade students. Most of the Big Five absence correlations were significant in the expected direction at all 3 grade levels. While Aggression, Optimism, Work Drive were significantly related to absences, only Work Drive added incremental variance to the prediction of absences beyond the Big Five traits. Study results were generally similar across grade levels. Findings were discussed in terms of dispositional absenteeism, the generalizability of the Big Five trait model, and the utility of more narrowband traits. Implications were drawn for early identification of absence-prone students and the precedent role of personality variables in school absence research on the effects of other variables, programs, and interventions.
