Relationship between Neuroticism and Social Adjustment of Undergraduate Students in One Selected

The study looked at the link between neuroticism and social adjustment among university undergraduates. The Big five personality theory was used to guide the research. Within the mixed method approach, concurrent triangulation design was used. There were 4805 undergraduate students in the target group. A total of 759 students, 1 student counsellor, 1 caterer and accommodation staff, and 1 career guidance were included in the sample. To get quantitative data from students, an adapted instrument termed "integrated Questionnaire, Students' Social Adjustment" (IQSA) was utilised, while an Interview Schedule was employed to obtain qualitative data from student counsellors, caterers, and accommodation, as well as a career counsellor. The survey data was subjected to appropriateness tests using the Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO Index) and the Bartlett's Test of Sphericity to determine the constructs' internal validity. Internal consistency was used to establish questionnaire reliability, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.684. The association between neuroticism personality traits and social adjustment among undergraduate students is statistically significant (n=54; r= -.206; p.05), however negative, with high levels of neuroticism personality traits associated with worse social adjustment among undergraduate students. It was suggested that university student counsellors assess and identify students who are at danger, as well as adjust their perceptions of developments at the university.
