ABSTRACT
We examine the role personality may play in individuals taking the measures necessary to help keep their personal information from being compromised. This is done by using a previously developed and validated survey instrument and combining it with measures for personality in a large-scale survey to see what, if any, relationships may be found. Extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness were all positively associated with taking measures necessary to help mitigate the loss of one's personal information. In contrast, individuals considered more neurotic were less likely to engage in such protective behavior.
