Abstract
Description
among undergraduate students at the University of Technology Sarawak (UTS). Using a sample of 350 students and a questionnaire comprising the Introversion Scale by McCroskey and an adapted version of the Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS), data were collected online via Google Forms. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including One-Sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and Independent Samples t-test, were used for analysis. Findings revealed that students showed an above-average level of social adjustment. A significant negative relationship was found between introversion and social adjustment, while a significant but weak positive relationship was found between extroversion and social adjustment. Furthermore, extroverted students reported significantly higher levels of social adjustment compared to introverted students. These findings underscore the role of personality traits in influencing social adjustment within university settings and point to the importance of targeted interventions to support students with varying personality profiles.
