| Abstract: | The interaction of Conscientiousness and accountability was investigated in the context of performance outcomes using a cognitive performance task, and this interaction was found to be statistically significant. In a laboratory experiment with 95 student-participants, under conditions of accountability, more conscientious individuals performed at higher levels than less conscientious people in support of the hypothesis. Under conditions of no external accountability, the relationship between Conscientiousness and performance was not significant. No main effects were found. |
