This thesis examines university students’ beliefs regarding the possibility of modifying their social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) skills compared to personality traits, which are generally considered more stable. The aim is to assess to what extent SEB skills are perceived as modifiable and desirable to develop, and whether significant differences emerge in relation to personality traits. Following a theoretical review of the concepts of personality, the desire for change, and the role of SEB skills, an empirical study was conducted using the BESSI-I-45 Change questionnaire.
La presente tesi analizza le credenze degli studenti universitari in merito alla possibilità di modificare le proprie competenze socio-emotive e comportamentali (SEB) rispetto ai tratti di personalità, generalmente considerati più stabili. L’obiettivo è valutare quanto le competenze siano percepite come modificabili e desiderabili da sviluppare, e se emergano differenze significative rispetto ai tratti. Dopo una revisione teorica sui modelli di personalità, sul desiderio di cambiamento e sul ruolo delle SEB skills, è stato condotto uno studio empirico con un campione di studenti universitari, mediante la somministrazione del questionario BESSI-I-45 Change.

Abstract
This thesis examines university students’ beliefs regarding the possibility of modifying their social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) skills compared to personality traits, which are generally considered more stable. The aim is to assess to what extent SEB skills are perceived as modifiable and desirable to develop, and whether significant differences emerge in relation to personality traits. Following a theoretical review of the concepts of personality, the desire for change, and the role of SEB skills, an empirical study was conducted using the BESSI-I-45 Change questionnaire.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
