Abstract

Background: Research has found personality traits are related to educational outcomes in higher education contexts.

Objective: A systematized search of the literature was conducted to map the use of personality research in veterinary medicine and agriculture education and discover gaps related to mental health, admissions, and employment of students.

Materials and Methods: In total, 1408 articles were screened by title and abstract to assess eligibility. Seventy-six articles moved to a full-text assessment for eligibility. After eligibility screening, 22 articles were included in data extraction and analysis.

Results: Veterinary medicine studies were found to be more common than agriculture studies. The studies varied in terms of assessment tools and aims/scope explored. Overall, results were challenging to compare due to dissimilarities in study structure.

Conclusion: Further work is needed to replicate studies and explore connections between personality traits and mental health, admissions, and employment factors among veterinary medicine and agriculture students.
