The study frames its rationale within changing allied health education priorities, focusing on admissions standards, retention concerns, and the limitations of relying solely on cognitive/academic measures. It identifies the sample, details data collection and survey instruments, and analyzes results using grade point averages and personality measures to evaluate differences between student groups.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/comparison-of-personality-characteristics-and-academic-achievement-of-dental-hygiene-students-in-two-degree-programs-a-thesis/293657/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/comparison-of-personality-characteristics-and-academic-achievement-of-dental-hygiene-students-in-two-degree-programs-a-thesis/293657.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Mack Lee","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is the main focus of the thesis?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The thesis compares personality characteristics and academic achievement of dental hygiene students across two degree programs.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"Why does the study emphasize student selection and retention?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"It highlights that admissions committees set academic standards, but evidence suggests academic measures alone may not predict completion and long-term satisfaction, making retention an important concern.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How are academic outcomes and personality traits analyzed?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"The study uses grade point averages for academic achievement analysis and survey instruments for personality characteristics, reporting results across the defined student groups.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},293657,1789667155,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":130,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},1236954509970,"https://us-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","# COMPARISON OF PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS AND ACADEMICACHIEVEMENT OF DENTAL HYGIENE STUDENTSIN TWO DEGREE PROGRAMS\n\nA Thesis  \nPresented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirementsfor the Degree Master of Science  \nby  \nConnie Lee Sylvester,R.D.H.,B.A.The Ohio State University1979  \nApproved by  \nNuuyup  \nSchool of A1lied MedicalProfessions  \n## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\n\nI would like to express my heart-felt appreciationto al1 who made this study possible.
