Describe the relationship between personality and school achievement.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Alvaro's parents ask about his homework every night after school, and Alvaro comments to his friends, My parents won't let me get away with anything. If I didn't study hard and do my homework, they would be all over me. You won't make it in college if you aren't willing to work,' they keep saying. They're good though. My mom helps me with my math if I get stuck, and they always come to my soccer games and band concerts.
   Assuming that Alvaro fits patterns identified by research, describe the personal characteristics that he is likely to acquire. Explain why he is likely to acquire these characteristics.

Answer to Question 1

A strong link exists between academic achievement and openness and conscientiousness, particularly in adolescents. This is likely the result of conscientious students being able to set learning goals, regulate their behavior, and persist until goals are met. Similarly, students open to experiences may achieve higher because they respect and appreciate knowledge and discovery. Additonal research has identified links between academic achievement and extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness in younger students.

Answer to Question 2

Alvaro's parents demonstrate the characteristics of an authoritative parenting style. As a result, if Alvaro's development is consistent with patterns identified by research, he is likely to be willing to take risks and will become confidant, secure, and successful in school.
