Abstract:
Objective: To explore the situation of interpersonal adaption and its relation to extroversion and self-control in college students. Methods: Totally 3125 college students (1497 males, 1628 females; age from 16 to24 years) were assessed with the interpersonal adaption dimension from China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS), Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Self-Control Scale (SCS). Results: The average score of interpersonal adaption was (33. 3 ± 3. 6). Regression analysis showed that extraversion and self-control positively predicted interpersonal adaption (β = 0. 25, 0. 08), interaction of extraversion and selfcontrol negatively predicted interpersonal adaption significantly (β =-0. 08). In the introvert group, the interpersonal adaption scores were higher in students with higher self-control scores than in those with lower self-control scores (P ＜ 0. 001). Conclusion: It suggests that college students have good interpersonal adaptation. Self-control may buffer the negative effect of low extraversion on interpersonal adaption.
