For data analysis, Pearson correlation test, linear regression and multiple regression were used in SPSS software.
findings: the findings of the research show that by adding cognitive flexibility and openness to experience , the level of information literacy of subjects increases . also , openness to experience ( higher rate ) and cognitive flexibility were able to predict information literacy of subjects .
originality / value: the relationship between cognitive flexibility , openness to experience and level of information literacy as well as the ability of cognitive flexibility and openness to experience in students " knowledge literacy level will lead researchers to know what aspects of cognitive features should be considered in information literacy . also , students can overcome the difficulties associated with the lack of literacy education by promoting the level of openness to experience and cognitive flexibility and increasing their skills through participation in workshops and training courses.
