Abstract
In a previous study (Biggs, 1970), the general natures of the tasks facing Science and Arts students were analyzed and some study strategies that appeared to be appropriate to the Science and Arts tasks were described. These strategies were embodied in a questionnaire and correlations with performance were obtained that confirmed expectations. In the present study, correlations are reported between the strategies and certain personality characteristics, including extreme response set, dogmatism, neuroticism, extraversion and divergence. The results in general supported both the earlier interpretations of particular strategies, and the hypothesis that such strategies mediate between particular personality variables and the task.
