Abstract
It is commonly understood that the personality types of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism have an impact on compliance. This being said, the relationships between conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism and compliance have not been tested within a focused study on COVID-19 health guidelines. This study tests the hypotheses that conscientiousness and agreeableness will be positively associated with compliance, and neuroticism will be negatively associated with compliance. Participants (n=175) from a SONA study completed surveys that measured personality type and compliance levels. Specific factors, such as personality, play influential roles in eliciting compliance to guidelines. In this study, evidence is expected to be found that compliance to guidelines is positively correlated with conscientiousness and agreeableness, and negatively correlated with neuroticism. Results will be completed by the presentation date.
