摘要：研究者对词汇学习策略的研究已有几十年的历史，性格作为众多影响词汇学习策略的学习者因素之一，已经获得了一定的关注，但性格与词汇学习策略的相关性研究还不充分，特别是当研究对象为初中生时。因此，本研究有三个有待探讨的问题：

(1)初中生的性格与词汇学习策略之间是否存在相关性？

(2)初中生的性格与词汇学习中的元认知策略、认知策略以及社会/情感策略的使用是否存在相关性？

(3)不同性格类型的学习者在词汇学习的元认知策略、认知策略以及社会/情感策略使用上是否存在差异？

研究期间，问卷发放给了杭州市某一中学的99名初一学生，得出以下结论：

(1)初中生的性格与词汇学习策略之间存在正相关关系。

(2)初中生性格与元认知策略、认知策略以及社会/情感策略之间存在弱相关性。

(3)外向学习者和内向学习者在词汇学习策略的使用上有着云泥之别，尤其是在元认知策略和社会/情感策略的使用上存在霄壤之别。

总之，本文得出两点结论。第一，性格与词汇学习策略之间存在微弱的相关性。第二，外向者和内向者在词汇学习策略的使用上存在显著差异。根据所得结论，如果教师能够提供更多的机会来鼓励内向的学生多交流多合作，保持外向的学生对英语的热情并帮助他们摆脱粗心的缺点，这对于教学而言是有利处的。同时，学生应该学会监督自己，管理自己的学习活动。学会发现自己的缺点，并尝试用各种词汇学习策略来取长补短，这对内向者和外向者来说都是大有裨益的。
