Abstract
This study attempted to determine the relationship between the psychological and sociological traits and English achievement of English learners in the College of Arts and Sciences of the Nueva Vizcaya State University Bambang Campus. Specifically, this study determined the psychological traits of the respondents in terms of analytical abilities and emotional traits; their sociological traits in terms of their extroversion, opportunity traits and dependability traits. It further determined their achievement level in English, the significant relationship between their English achievement with their psychological traits and their sociological traits. To achieve these purposes, the study used the descriptive correlation research method. The Jackson Personality Inventory was the primary instrument used in gathering the pertinent data required in the study.
The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson’s Product Moment of Correlation (Pearson’s r). The 0.05 probability level (level of significance) was the critical point of reference used in the study. Results and findings were presented in the narrative method presented in tabular forms. The results of the study reveal that the psychological traits of the respondents were rated as average. Of this, the analytical abilities of the respondents, in terms of complexity, breadth of interest, innovation, and tolerance, were found to be average. Likewise, their emotional traits in terms of empathy, anxiety, and cooperativeness, were rated as average. Their sociological traits, which were classified as extroversion, opportunistic and dependable, were found to be average. The English achievements of the respondents were rated as average and a marked or substantial relationship (r=0.46) was found between the analytical abilities of the respondents and their achievement in English. The relationship is significant at 0.05 probability level. However, the negligible relationship (r=0.15) between the emotional traits of the respondents and their achievement in English was not significant. Furthermore, a significant relationship at 0.05 probability level was found between the sociological traits and the English achievement of the respondents. Of this, a marked or substantial relationship (r=0.58) exists between the extroverted traits and English achievement of the respondents; the opportunistic traits and the English achievement of the respondents displayed a present but slight relationship (r= 0.38); and their dependable traits and English achievement reflected a present but slight relationship (r=0.29).
