Monograph: Who is reaching for “catalyst” development? Openness to experience and volitional control of Erasmus participants

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a thesis that only combining processes of formal education with informal and non-formal one is considered as an impulse to a full development of one’s potential. It has been posited that participation in the Erasmus programme, defined in the literature as “catalyst development”, is a unique opportunity for individually constructed combination of all three types of educational processes. The phenomenon of so common students’ mobility is basically regarded as the field for sociological and economical analyses, to the lesser extent it of interest of empirical psychology. The research has been undertaken in order to search for personality characteristics of the Erasmus programme participants. The obtained results show that students using the “catalyst development” have higher level of openness to experience and stronger volitional control (in terms of realization) while compared with non-mobile students.
