This study aims at analyzing the relations between self-directed learning, personality traits and academic achievement. The participants were 121 undergraduate students from a Romanian university. Self-rating scale of self-directed learning (SRSSDL) and IPIP–50 were used. Academic achievement was measured by the academic results collected for all the participants at the end of the academic year. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were used in examining the relationship between Big Five personality traits and learner self-direction. The results revealed that self-directed learning and personality traits are correlated and that self-directed learning predicts academic achievement

Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of choice preferences or norms, or rather the absence of sufficient resources for immediate needs. It is also not clear whether these reflect true differences in choice patterns between income groups. We tested temporal discounting and five intertemporal choice anomalies using local currencies and value standards in 61 countries (N = 13,629). Across a diverse sample, we found consistent, robust rates of choice anomalies. Lower-income groups were not significantly different, but economic inequality and broader financial circumstances were clearly correlated with population choice patterns.

There is considerable scientific interest in the psychological correlates of pro-environmental attitudes and concerns. While much research has focused on demographic and social-psychological characteristics of individuals with pro-environmental attitudes, our study explores the relations between personality traits and pro-environmental behaviours. The study found that Honesty, Agreeableness, Openness, Proactive personality and Pro-environmental attitude predict environmental behaviour. The main implication of the study is the fact that responsible environmental behaviour could be enhanced through programmes focused on the increase of the environmental awareness and the development of a more pro-ecological view.
