This research aims to investigate the difference in academic performance between passive and active users of CQA, i.e. Brainly; and determine socio-psychological characteristics distinguishing between those users. The participants completed questionnaires related to demographics and psychology scale, i.e. Grasha-Reichmann Student Learning Style Scales (GRSSLS), Big Five Personality Inventory, Academic Self-efficacy, and social interaction scale. Moreover, the students’ academic performance was also measured by testing three subjects which are Indonesian (five questions), English (five questions), and Mathematics (five questions) based on the education level of participants. The total number of participants was 757 respondents which consist of 333 CQA active users and 424 CQA passive users. The result of this research shows that students having independent, contributive, and competitive learning styles tend to be more active in solving the problems of academic subjects. The users with high self-efficacy along with conscientiousness personality also tend to be active users. The active users also show higher academic performance score compared to the passive one.
