Foreign Language Anxiety, Personality Traits, Test Anxiety, Academic Performance, Higher EducationResumen
El objetivo de este estudio es comprobar si, aparte de la ansiedad, ciertas dimensiones de la personalidad tienen influencia en el rendimiento académico universitario en exámenes oficiales de idiomas. En una muestra de 394 estudiantes de una universidad española, se evaluó el rendimiento académico en idiomas mediante el examen Test of English for International Communication: Listening and Reading (TOEIC L&R), la ansiedad en lengua extranjera con la FLCAS, la ansiedad ante los exámenes con el Test Anxiety Inventory y las dimensiones de la personalidad con el NEO-FFI. Se calcularon análisis de frecuencias para las variables categóricas, y medias y desviación estándar para las variables continuas, y se aplicó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple por pasos para identificar las variables independientes que contribuyen de manera significativa a la varianza del resultado del rendimiento académico. La ansiedad en el aula de idiomas es la variable que correlaciona más significativamente con el rendimiento académico, seguida por la dimensión de Neuroticismo, la Ansiedad ante los Exámenes y Extraversión. Los resultados muestran que la ansiedad puede seguir siendo considerada el indicador más eficaz para predecir el rendimiento académico en idiomas y que las dimensiones de la personalidad tienen cabida en el proceso de aprendizaje
