Research conducted on students in the final stages of education, puts into relation estimated personality traits and estimated intensity of the impact of cross-cultural adjustment problems. In the frame of the “Big 5” personality traits, extroversion, openness to experience and emotional stability correlate with a reduction of acculturation problems. The results indicate a global mindset of Croatian young people through their desire for learning different cultures and values, tolerance of different viewpoints and a willingness to accept an international career.
