Abstract

Perceptions of reading comprehension and knowledge of strategy, called generalized metacomprehension (GM), can influence study habits and metacognition accuracy, ultimately influencing academic success. One factor that may influence GM is personality. Personality likely relates to GM, as it is correlated with other types of cognitive and metacognitive outcomes. Because personality is stable, a moderate relationship with personality may suggest GM is also stable. We hypothesized that personality traits would relate to the Metacomprehension Scale (MCS), and were most interested in perceptions of comprehension ability and control-related subscales. A series of regressions demonstrated openness most strongly predicted overall MCS and related to the most subscales. Specifically, openness was related to our subscales of interest. Additionally, conscientiousness and extraversion were related to GM, although conscientiousness was related to more subscales of interest. This relationship suggests that GM is related to personality and therefore stable, which may have implications for improving GM.

摘要

阅读理解和策略知识的感知，称为广义元理解（GM），会影响学习习惯和元认知的准确性，最终影响学术成就。可能影响转基因的因素之一是性格。人格可能与GM有关，因为它与其他类型的认知和元认知结果相关。因为人格稳定，所以与人格的适度关系可能表明GM也很稳定。我们假设人格特质与元理解量表（MCS）有关，并且对理解能力和与控制有关的子量表最感兴趣。一系列回归表明，开放度最能预测整体MCS，并且与大多数量表有关。具体而言，开放性与我们感兴趣的分量表有关。此外，尽责与外向性与转基因有关，尽管尽责与更多的兴趣量表有关。这种关系表明，GM与人格相关，因此很稳定，这可能对改善GM有影响。
