    Psychological mindedness and academic achievement of psychology students in a higher education environment
    (University of the Free State, 2011) Beets, Soretha; Nienaber, Alida; Botha, Karel
    English: This article aims to determine the relationship between psychological mindedness and academic achievement and whether there are differences in demographic variables in relation to both psychological mindedness and academic achievement. A crosssectional design was used and 211 undergraduate students participated. A biographic questionnaire as well as the psychological mindedness scale was administered and the academic records of the participants were drawn. The data were analysed by calculating correlations, t-tests and an analysis of variance. Although there is a correlation between academic achievement and psychological mindedness, other factors may also play a role in the academic achievement of undergraduate university students. Limitations and recommendations were indicated.
