Correlation between Hardiness and Extroversion with Academic Performance

The purpose of current research was to study the correlation between hardiness and extroversion with academic performance. Sample size in this research was 230 individuals. The data was collected through the “hardiness scale” developed by Bartone (1992) along with the “extroversion subscale of neo-ffi scale” (1985). Also for measuring of the academic performance, we used students’ educational report. The outcome of the research shows relationship between hardiness and academic performance being both positive and significant. In addition, although all subscales of hardiness had positive correlation with academic performance but only commitment and control components had‎‎‎ significant‎‎‎‎‎ relationship with academic performance. In general, result shows although there was not significant relationship between extroversion and academic performance, students who have more hardiness also do better in academic performance. Thus, we conclude that there is a relationship between some of the psychological components of hardiness such as commitment, control with academic performance and hardiness could predict the academic performance.
