Abstract:Understanding the extent to which psychology students embrace technology is essential for their future careers as psychologists and can benefit both academic research and psychological education. There can be diversity among psychology student’s acceptance of technology regarding their future careers. In this study, personality traits are considered the independent variables, and the overall acceptance of technology regarding students’ future careers is taken as the dependent variable. Therefore, this thesis utilises the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Big Five Inventory-2-XS (BFI-2-XS) to measure the prediction of personality traits for this diversity. All in all, a cross-sectional survey study using convenience sampling was employed, resulting in a sample of 52 participants. Even though no statistically significant relationship was found, weak correlations were discovered, representing Openness to Experience and Conscientiousness having a negative relationship, Extraversion having a positive relationship, and Agreeableness and Neuroticism having both positive and negative relationships with indicators of technology acceptance concerning future jobs of psychology students. Overall, this study contributes to research since it provides insight into the unique relationship between personality traits and overall technology acceptance about the future careers of psychology students.
