Abstract

Unter Ökonomen setzt sich verstärkt die Erkenntnis durch, dass für die Erklärung ökonomischen sowie generellen Verhaltens neben kognitiven Fähigkeiten auch Faktoren wie soziale Fertigkeiten und Wertvorstellungen eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Entsprechend wird in ökonomischen Entscheidungsmodellen zunehmend auch die Rolle von Persönlichkeitseigenschaften berücksichtigt. Insbesondere bei Studien zum Arbeitsmarktverhalten oder Bildungsentscheidungen werden oftmals Eigenschaften wie z.B. Risikoneigung, Kontrollüberzeugung oder auch Persönlichkeitseigenschaften miteinbezogen. Dabei zeigt sich, wie wichtig es ist, neben den kognitiven Fähigkeiten auch die nicht-kognitiven Fähigkeiten bei der Untersuchung von Entscheidungssituationen zu berücksichtigen. Im Folgenden werden aktuelle Ergebnisse zu dem Zusammenhang zwischen Persönlichkeitseigenschaften und Bildungsentscheidungen dargestellt.
