Abstract
This study investigated how the big five personality traits among clinical laboratory science students affect their levels of academic satisfaction and verified the mediating effect of career preparation in the context of these personality traits influencing academic satisfaction. A total of 300 college students attending a 3-year college in Daegu were surveyed, and 260 were analyzed. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis while Baron and Kenny (1986)'s three step method was carried out for basic analysis, correlation analysis, and verification of the mediating effect of the collected data. Results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the correlation analysis between variables shows that extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness among the big five personality traits had significant positive relationships with academic satisfaction and career preparation while neuroticism showed a significant negative relation with academic satisfaction and no significant relation with career preparation. Secondly, the mediating effect verification found that extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, but not neuroticism, had significant mediating effects; extroversion especially was confirmed to have a complete mediating effect. Thus, methods are needed to improve academic satisfaction and career preparation in college.
