    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding the relationship between personality traits and research participation is crucial.
    • Conservatism and openness to experience are key personality dimensions.
    • Volunteer bias can affect the generalizability of psychological research findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between conservatism and openness to experience.
    • To examine if conservative individuals are less inclined to volunteer for open-ended psychological studies.
    • To discuss the implications for volunteer bias in psychological research.

    Main Methods:

    • Study I: Correlated scores on the Conservatism Scale and Coan Experience Inventory in 124 participants.

  • Study II: Assessed the willingness of 205 introductory psychology students to volunteer for experiments varying in openness requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant negative correlation was found between conservatism and openness to experience in Study I.
    • In Study II, highly conservative subjects were less willing to volunteer for experiments demanding greater openness compared to less conservative subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservatism is associated with lower levels of openness to experience.
    • The findings highlight how personality traits, specifically conservatism, can influence volunteer selection in psychological research.
    • Results underscore the potential for volunteer bias related to personality characteristics in experimental participation.
