The Relationship between the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Types and Psychological Well-being among College Students in China

Aim: This study explores the relationship between Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types and psychological well-being among Chinese college students, examining how cultural factors influence this relationship and identifying key factors impacting students' mental health. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted, focusing on peer-reviewed articles from the past decade. Databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar were searched using keywords like "MBTI," "psychological well-being," "college students," and "China." Inclusion criteria included studies on MBTI and psychological well-being among Chinese college students. Results: The review found that 64% of extraverted students reported high life satisfaction, compared to 42% of introverted students. Sensing students showed 58% academic satisfaction, while only 45% of intuitive students reported similar satisfaction levels. Thinkers (60%) and feelers (55%) displayed high psychological well-being linked to their respective environments. Judging types reported 70% life satisfaction, whereas only 45% of perceiving types expressed similar satisfaction. These findings underscore the significant impact of MBTI personality types on the psychological well-being of Chinese college students. Conclusion: MBTI types significantly influence psychological well-being among Chinese college students, moderated by cultural, social, and educational factors. Tailored mental health interventions and supportive environments are essential to address the diverse needs of students. Recommendations: Colleges should integrate MBTI-based counseling services, provide flexible learning options, and promote social support networks. These measures will accommodate varying personality types and improve overall student well-being. Implications: Understanding the interplay between MBTI types and psychological well-being within the Chinese cultural context offers valuable insights for educators and mental health professionals. These insights can inform the development of culturally sensitive interventions and support systems, enhancing the mental health and academic success of college students.

The Effects of Problem-Based Learning on the Writing Skills of Students Across Various Personality Types

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an approach where group discussions and collaboration are apparent during problem-solving activities. Accordingly, learners’ personality types that affect the way they think, feel, behave, and interact may potentially have a role in PBL classrooms. This study tries to reveal the possible roles personality types play in PBL by investigating the effects of PBL on the argumentative essay writing of both extroverted and introverted students. This study employed a quasi-experimental design by randomly selecting students in academic writing courses for both the experimental and comparison groups and involving them in the intact classes. The findings revealed that the students in the PBL group scored higher than those in the guided writing group. Moreover, the extroverted students in the PBL group achieved higher mean scores than the extroverted students in the comparison group; however, the difference was insignificant. On the contrary, the statistical analysis showed that the introverted students in the experimental group outperformed those in the comparison group. This is to say that the introverted students taught using PBL had better skills in writing argumentative essays compared to those taught using guided writing techniques. This finding implies the need to use suitable teaching strategies that facilitate both extroverts and introverts in developing their writing skills while also sharpening their communicative and social skills.

Analysing the Mathematical Critical and Creative Thinking Abilities in Problem Solving Introverted Students

This study aims to evaluate the critical and creative thinking abilities in the context of mathematics when solving problems related to arithmetic sequences and series among introverted students in the 11th grade at Xaverius 1 High School in Jambi City. This issue arises due to differences in thinking skills and cognitive processes among students based on personality types, where it was found that introverted students tend to have low mathematical critical and creative thinking abilities. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through personality questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Research subjects were selected from introverted students based on personality questionnaire results and answer sheet analysis, with three students representing the various response groups. The results of this study indicate that introverted students demonstrate good mathematical critical thinking skills in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans. However, they tend to overlook rechecking their solutions. The creative mathematical thinking abilities of introverted students mainly involve fluency and flexibility in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans, although they lack in terms of originality and elaboration in problem-solving

ANALYSIS OF MATHEMATICAL NUMERACY SKILLS ON LINE AND ANGLE MATERIAL IN CLASS VII IN TERMS OF EXTROVERTED INTROVERTED AND AMBIVERT PERSONALITIES

This research aims to analyze the mathematical numeracy abilities of class VII students with introverted, extroverted and ambivert personalities at SMP Negeri 2 Semarang. The method used was descriptive qualitative with research subjects consisting of 34 students, one student was selected from each personality category based on a questionnaire with 70 question items. The results of the questionnaire showed AAE (introvert), LPA (extrovert), and JRA (ambivert) students as research subjects. Mathematical numeracy ability tests and interviews were carried out to test the validity of the test results through technical triangulation. Indicators of mathematical numeracy abilities include the use of mathematical numbers and symbols, analysis of information in the form of tables, graphs and charts, as well as interpretation of analysis results for decision making. The results showed that introvert and ambivert students met all indicators of numeracy ability, while extrovert students did not. Introvert students can solve problems well, extrovert students tend to be in a hurry and lack details, while ambivert students show quite good results but there are still some answers that are less detailed. This research concludes that mathematical numeracy abilities vary based on student personality.

ENGLISH SPEAKING ANXIETY OF CHINESE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS: A PERSPECTIVE BASED ON STUDENTS’ PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES

This study aims to investigate the difference in English-speaking anxiety levels with different personality types among middle school students, employing a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The participants comprised third-grade middle school students in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, China, with a sample size of 370 students. Two instrumental tests, namely the personality type test and the English-speaking anxiety level test, were conducted for data analysis. The E-scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) was used to determine students' personality types, while the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire assessed their anxiety levels. The results revealed a significant difference in the level of English-speaking anxiety between introverted and extroverted students, F(4,365) = 5.363, p < .05. The English-speaking anxiety of introverted students is lower than that of extroverted students. Based on the characteristics of students' personalities, it is recommended that educators adopt instructional approaches such as promoting cooperative learning, providing moderate error correction, offering moderate attention to students, and enhancing guidance on learning strategies to mitigatespeaking anxiety in students. However, it is crucial to note that the study's scope is confined to middle schools in Jinjiang District, limiting its applicability to students in other regions of China.

The Interactive Effect of Personality Types and Learning Setting on Performance in Accounting Courses

ABSTRACT This paper examines whether students’ personality types influence their performance in two masters-level accounting courses: one traditional lecture setting (Financial Accounting) and one active learning setting (Accounting Research). Research has shown that accounting student performance is related to personality types (Nourayi and Cherry 1993; Lawrence and Taylor 2000). However, the accounting profession is pushing for active learning to emphasize the importance of communication and critical thinking skills (Pincus, Stout, Sorensen, Stocks, and Lawson 2017). Our study is the first to relate personality types to performance in learning settings in the accounting area. We also extend prior personality type research to examine masters-level accounting student performance. We find that Extrovert students outperformed Introvert students in the active learning setting and Sensing students outperformed Intuitive students in the traditional lecture setting. Combining personality types into four personality temperaments and four MBTI cognitive function groups also resulted in significant effects on student performance. Data Availability: Data are available from the authors upon request.

Problems and Strategies of Introvert Students in Speaking English

In this research, researchers aims to find out the problems and causes of introverted students and introverted students' strategies in speaking English. Researchers used descriptive quantitative methods. In the first questionnaire researchers used a random sampling technique, in which 104 students of SMAN 4 Bengkulu in the Science majors grades 10 and 11 became the sample. And for the second and third questionnaires researchers used a purposive sampling technique, in which 67 students were categorized as introverts. The results of the study showed that introverted students have many problems in speaking English. The problem that most introvert students face is pronunciation problems in speaking English, with a total average of 2.01; then followed by the problem of lack of vocabulary (2.02); and the problem of lack of confidence (2.07). Researchers also found several causes of introverted students' speaking problems, namely students accustomed to using their mother tongue when forced to speak English (2.02) as the dominant cause based on the total average result; feeling lost the topic when speaking English (2.11), and feeling stuck in thinking (2.16). Then the last result, there are three strategies used by introverted students to overcome speaking problems. Metacognitive as the dominant strategy used by introvert students in overcoming speaking problems, the strategy is paying attention (3.25), then followed by cognitive strategies regarding practice strategies (2.79) and the socio-affective strategy regarding cooperative strategies (2.71). The problems and causes that most introvert students face in speaking English are pronunciation problems and students are used to using their mother tongue when they feel pressured. Furthermore, introverted students used many strategies with moderate mean total.

THE IMPACT OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING AND PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ON WRITING SKILLS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EXTROVERTED AND INTROVERTED INDONESIA EFL STUDENTS

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on enhancing the writing skills of students, considering their extroverted or introverted personality traits. The objective was to explore how different teaching strategies might yield varying results depending on the students' personalities. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a time-series approach, the research methodology included pre-and-post assessments, classroom observations, self-assessment tools for evaluating students' writing competencies, and questionnaires to determine their preferences. The research utilized three distinct forms of tests, revealing that the significance (Sig.) value stood at 0.005, which is below the 0.05 threshold for significance. This indicates a differential impact of PjBL and PBL on the writing abilities of introverted students. Conversely, for extroverted students, the significance value derived from the data was 0.300, exceeding the 0.05 level. This outcome suggests acceptance of the null hypothesis (Ho) and rejection of the alternative hypothesis (Ha), meaning there was no discernible difference in the effectiveness of the two strategies for extroverted students. Participants in the study were fourth-semester English Department students at the University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (Untirta). The findings revealed that introverted students experienced variations in their writing skills when exposed to both PjBL and PBL, with these methods significantly influencing their writing abilities. In contrast, extroverted students did not show notable differences in their writing skills under the same teaching strategies, indicating that both PjBL and PBL were equally effective for them. This study underscores that the choice of teaching method can have varying impacts on the writing skills of students, particularly when considering their introverted or extroverted nature. It highlights that extroversion and introversion may play a role in how students respond to different educational approaches in the context of enhancing their writing skills.

Prevalence and influencing factors of sleep disturbance among medical students under the COVID-19 pandemic.

Medical students may feel severe psychological stress during COVID-19, which might impair their ability to sleep. This research aimed to look at the risk factors for sleep disturbance and the prevalence of sleep disturbance among medical students. 538 medical students in total were recruited for this research. Anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance were assessed using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). To evaluate the possible risk variables, we computed descriptive statistics for each assessment item and ran univariate and logistic regression analyses. Medical students had a 63.6% prevalence of sleep disturbance (n = 342). According to logistic regression, introverted students are 1.77 times more likely than extroverted students to have sleep disturbance (OR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.08-2.91). Medical students with depression had a 5.6-times higher risk of sleep disturbance than those without depression (OR = 5.60, 95% CI 3.43-9.15). Additionally, medical students with anxiety were 3.95 times more likely than those without anxiety to have sleep disturbance (OR = 3.95, 95% CI 2.04-7.64). According to this research, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant sleep disturbance among medical students. Additionally, among medical students, introversion, anxiety, and depression were risk factors for sleep disturbance.

The method used in this research is qualitative, namely data obtained through interviews. The results of the study can show what role the counseling teacher will play in increasing the self-confidence of introverted students.

Unveiling the Linguistic Landscape: The Gendered Impacts on Language Learning Strategies for Introverted Learners

<p style="text-align:justify">This study explores the impact of gender on the preferred English language learning strategies of self-perceived introverted students in Vietnam, given the burgeoning role of English as an international lingua franca. A mixed-methods approach, involving survey questionnaires and follow-up interviews, was utilized to gather both quantitative and qualitative data from a cohort of 68 English major undergraduates, 29 of whom self-identified as introverted via the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The investigation provides a comprehensive understanding of the preferred language learning strategies among introverted learners, and specifically examines how gender influences these strategic choices. The results reveal that gender does not present significant differences in the preferred English language learning strategies of self-perceived introverted individuals. Regardless of gender, introverted language learners demonstrate a tendency towards compensation learning strategies, with specific strategies such as deductive reasoning, organizing physical environs, and error rectification receiving almost identical responses from both male and female participants. These findings suggest that the role of personality traits, such as introversion, should be considered in tailoring pedagogical approaches to meet individual learning preferences and needs. Further research is needed to explore this area in greater depth and to examine its broader implications for English language teaching pedagogy.</p>

Analysis of Extrovert and Introvert Personality of the Students on Speaking Performance at the Tenth Grade of State Islamic Senior High School 1 Padang Lawas


 
 
 
 
 Abstract: This research aims to analyze students' speaking performances based on the extrovert and introverted personalities of students in the tenth grade of State Islamic Senior High School 1 Padang Lawas. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with a case study approach. The data were collected by Eysenck Personality Questionnaires (EPQ), speaking tests, and interviews. After the data was collected, it was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model technique, which consists of three stages of data analysis: data reduction, data presentation, and verification or conclusion. The population in this study were students of class X-science, consisting of 198 students from a total of five classes. The sample used in this study amounted to 20 students using the proportional technique in the take of the sample. The findings showed that each of the 20 research samples—ten extroverts and ten introverts—had different speaking performance scores. The results of the speaking test from ten extrovert students obtained five students with good criteria and five with poor criteria. Meanwhile, the results of the speaking test for ten introverted students found that five students with poor criteria, four students obtained good criteria and one student received a speaking test result with very good criteria. From each of the extrovert and introvert students who were interviewed, they stated that they experienced several obstacles: a lack of preparation before performing, a lack of knowledge about language aspects, mispronunciation, and a lack of vocabulary. It can be concluded that students with various personality types can use various learning methods that suit the needs of each student. Therefore, whether an extrovert or an introvert, speaking performance will be better if students have sufficient linguistic knowledge and are also supported by frequent participation or good preparation.
