Purpose: This study aimed to design and present a model that explores the relationship between the five dimensions of personality and problem-solving skills, as well as academic help-seeking behaviors in female students.
Methods and Materials: The research utilized a quantitative approach, involving a sample of female students from various schools. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires measuring personality dimensions, problem-solving skills, and help-seeking behaviors. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression analyses, were performed to examine the relationships between these variables.
Findings: The results indicated a significant relationship between the five dimensions of personality and both problem-solving skills and academic help-seeking behaviors. Specifically, traits such as resilience and conscientiousness were positively associated with higher problem-solving skills and a greater propensity to seek academic help.
Conclusion: The study concludes that personality traits play a crucial role in influencing problem-solving skills and help-seeking behaviors in female students. Enhancing positive personality traits can potentially improve these skills, leading to better academic outcomes. Future research should focus on intervention strategies that bolster these traits.
