Abstract
The aim of this study was to to analyze the relationship between the big five personality traits and adjustment to university by examining the extent to which the self-assessment of Turkish adolescents personality traits predict their adjustment to university. The study group consisted of 168 students: 101 females and 67 males. The study data was collected using The Adjustment to University Life Scale and the Adjective-Based Personality Test (ABPT). The findings of this study revealed that personal adjustment and academic adjustment predicts emotional instability/neuroticism and conscientiousness in a meaningful way. Also, social adjustment predicts agreeableness in a meaningful way. A number of recommendations were then presented based on our study's findings.
