Canonical Correlation Analysis of the Big Five Factors of Personality and Future Anxiety among Palestinian University Students
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Physics, Mathematics and Statistics - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the Big-Five factors of Personality, which are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, and four domains of Future Anxiety, which are General Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Political Anxiety and Economic Anxiety among the Palestinian university students in the Gaza strip via the Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). The sample consisted of 531 randomly selected students, from two non-private universities who were enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2011-2012, and were in their first or fourth grade level. CCA is the suitable multivariate technique to assess the complicated relationship between the Big-Five factors of Personality and Future Anxiety compared to other statistical techniques. Furthermore, the study of correlation between two sets of multiple variables by using pairwise correlation coefficients does not enable us to assess the simultaneous relationship between them or to grasp the structure and key features of the data. After the verification of its assumptions, the CCA was conducted and interpreted, furthermore, a double cross-validation was performed to evaluate the obtained results. The results revealed that students with high level of Neuroticism and low level of Agreeableness had high levels of General and Social Anxiety.
