The aim of this study was two-fold: (a) to explore personality profiles among honors undergraduate students and regular undergraduate students, and (b) to investigate the extent to which these profiles are associated with students’ well-being and coping strategies for stress. Using latent class analysis (LCA) on the Big Five personality traits of a total of 532 undergraduate students (229 honors students), we identified three distinct profiles: Overcontrollers, Averages, and Resilients. Honors students were underrepresented in the Averages profile. No significant disproportionality was observed in the other two profiles. Resilients had the highest well-being scores and showed a greater tendency to engage in proactive problem-solving when faced with stress. In contrast, Overcontrollers leaned toward using accountability and self-critique as their primary coping strategy. Findings are discussed in the context of replicable personality prototypes and in relationship to prior research involving honors and academically advanced students.

荣誉生和普通本科生的性格概况：与幸福感的关联以及应对压力的策略


这项研究的目的有两个：(a) 探索荣誉本科生和普通本科生的性格特征；(b) 调查这些特征与学生的幸福感和应对策略的相关程度。压力。通过对 532 名本科生（229 名荣誉学生）的“大五人格特征”进行潜在类别分析 (LCA)，我们确定了三种不同的特征：过度控制者、平均者和适应力强者。荣誉学生在平均数据中所占比例不足。在其他两个配置文件中没有观察到明显的不成比例。适应力强的人的幸福感得分最高，并且在面临压力时更倾向于主动解决问题。相比之下，过度控制者倾向于使用问责和自我批评作为他们的主要应对策略。研究结果在可复制的人格原型的背景下进行了讨论，并与之前涉及荣誉学生和学术先进学生的研究联系起来。
