The Impact of the Big Five Personality Traits on College Students’ Views of ChatGPT in English Language Learning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores the relationship between college students’ personality traits and theirperceptions of using ChatGPT. Twenty-three participants, who were enrolled in an Englishmedium instruction class participated in the study. They were asked to complete the BigFive Inventory, which examines one’s personality traits and a questionnaire gauging theirperceptions of ChatGPT use. To analyze the data, correlation and frequency analyses wereperformed. The results of the correlation analysis revealed a robust correlation betweenconscientiousness and item 1 and between conscientiousness and item 3. In addition, anassociation was found between extraversion and item 5 and agreeableness and item 5.
Furthermore, there was a strong relationship between conscientiousness and item 7 andbetween neuroticism and item 11. Regarding students’ perceptions of ChatGPT, the findingsindicate a generally positive outlook on ChatGPT among students, particularly in enhancinggrammar and vocabulary skills, and this is evidenced by self-reported improvements inwriting abilities and grammar accuracy. However, participants expressed concern about thepotentially diminishing effects on their critical thinking skills due to overreliance on ChatGPT.
The implication of the study highlights that the identified correlations between personalitytraits and specific questionnaire items offer insights into potential usage patterns of ChatGPTamong students. This finding implies that teachers should consider exploring ChatGPT asa pedagogical tool, tailoring its integration into teaching materials to align with students’diverse personalities and learning preferences.
