Video of the Seminar.
HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Provides a meta-analytical review of the empirical literature on the relationship between personal earnings and the Big Five personality traits.
2. Based on 936 partial effect sizes collected from 65 peer-reviewed articles published between 2001 and 2020.
3. Finds that personal earnings are positively associated with the traits of Openness, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion, and negatively associated with the traits of Agreeableness and Neuroticism.
4. Meta-regression estimates suggest that the results of the primary literature are at least partially driven by the characteristics of the study design and, in particular, that the inclusion of individual controls like the level of education attained or/and a proxy for cognitive abilities helps to explain study heterogeneity.
