| Description | The paper deals with the relationship between personality characteristics of students and their sociometric status in the classes of secondary technical school. Its main aim was to reveal whether personality characteristics of students in the late adolescence affect their sociometric status from the point of view of influence and popularity. There was also verified how school competences (results and commends) affect sociometric status in connection with personality dimensions. Sociometric status (influence and popularity in the school class) we gained through sociometric method SO-RA-D and individual personality dimensions we measured by NEO-PI-R. Results of the research show that higher degree of agreeableness affects popularity of an individual in the class and evaluation of schoolmates as well. Higher degree of extraversion increases authority in the class, higher degree of conscientiousness on the contrary decreases it. Individual components of neuroticism also influence degree of authority in the class - depression and self-consciousness decrease authority and impulsiveness increases it. School results do not affect sociometric status in connection with personality characteristics, but commends decrease popularity of introvert persons. |
