PERSONALITY TRAITS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS IN WORLD CITI COLLEGES QUEZON CITY

Personality traits are characteristics that describe an individual's behavior. These traits help shape our lived experiences as we progress through life. One of the most significant milestones of an individual is entering college, earning a degree, meeting new people, and embracing a new environment. Taking this into account, the study aims to investigate the personality traits of extraversion, loneliness, and belongingness among college students. Extraversion is a trait marked by outgoingness and energy. Loneliness is the feeling of isolation, which creates a gap in experiences as an individual socializes. Belongingness is the feeling of connection to a group, marked by a sense of community on campus. A descriptive-quantitative research design will be used to approach the research objectives. A survey questionnaire will be used as the instrument for collecting the data needed for this study. The questionnaires were adopted, and ANOVA and Pearson's R correlation were utilized to interpret the results. The respondents for this study will come from the 11 programs at World Citi Colleges, Quezon City Campus. Using proportionate random sampling, 336 individuals will be surveyed for this research. The study will contribute to the body of knowledge regarding loneliness and belongingness, offering insights that can help improve students' campus experiences.
