Abstract

Bu çalışma da bireysel kişilik özelliklerin iletişime gönüllülüğe etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma da on maddeli kişilik ölçeği ile iletişime gönüllülük ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Örneklemin ana kütlesi 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim döneminde Konya Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesinde fakülte ve dört yıllık yüksekokullarda öğrenim gören toplam öğrenci sayısıdır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde, ortalama ve korelasyondan yararlanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda katılımcıların %63,3’ünün kadın, %36,7’sinin erkek ve yaş ortalamalarının ise 20,95 olduğu, %14,9’unun sağlık bilimlerinden (n=59), %67,3’ünün sosyal bilimlerden (n=266), % 17.7’sinin ise fen bilimleri(n=70) alanındaki fakültelerden, % 22,3’ünün 1.sınıf (n=88), % 33,7’sinin 2.sınıf (n=133), % 26,3’ünün 3. sınıf (n=104), %17,7’sinin ise 4. sınıf (n=70) olduğu görülmüştür. Korelasyon analizleri sonucunda İGÖ toplam puanı ile on maddeli kişilik ölçeği alt boyutlarından dışa dönüklük (p=,000) deneyime açıklık (p=,001) ve sorumluluk (p=,001) arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır.
