Self-consistency and its relationship to the quality of decision-making among university students

Abstract

The research aimed to identify the level of self-consistency and quality of decision-making and the relationship between them among students of Al-Hamdaniya University, and to reveal the differences according to the variables (gender - specialization). The basic research sample amounted to (160) male and female students, comprising (100) males and (60) females. The first two scales (Al-Abidi, 2005) were adopted to measure self-consistency, and the second (Al-Rikabi, 2015) was adopted to measure the quality of decision-making. ...and extracted the validity for them, as well as the reliability, which were respectively (0.81) and (0.84), and the data were processed statistically using the statistical package (SPSS). The researchers reached a set of results, namely that the level of self-consistency and quality of decision-making among university students was higher than the average level. It was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between self-consistency and the quality of decision-making, and there is no statistically significant difference in the research variables according to the gender variable. There is a statistically significant difference in the specialization variable in favor of the humanities specialization. The researchers put forward a number of recommendations and proposals in light of the conclusions reached in the research.
