This meta-analysis examines the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and earnings. The results reveal that openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion exhibit positive correlations with earnings, whereas agreeableness and neuroticism are inversely correlated with earnings. Overall, personality has a modest-to-small effect on earnings, with variations in results depending on econometric models used. Accounting for publication bias, socioeconomic background, and cognitive ability in models affects effect sizes. The findings also underscore the potential for omitted variable bias in the reported personality effects on earnings when relevant factors are omitted from the earnings equation.

大五人格特征与收入之间的关系：来自荟萃分析的证据

这项荟萃分析研究了“大五人格特质”与收入之间的关系。结果表明，对经验的开放性、尽责性和外向性与收入呈正相关，而宜人性和神经质则与收入呈负相关。总体而言，性格对收入的影响中等至较小，其结果取决于所使用的计量经济学模型。模型中的发表偏差、社会经济背景和认知能力都会影响效应大小。研究结果还强调，当收入方程中省略相关因素时，所报告的性格对收入的影响可能会出现遗漏变量偏差。
