	Conscientiousness
		Conscientiousness is one of the five major factors of personality measured by the NEO Personality Inventory.
		Conscientiousness includes such traits as self-discipline, achievement-striving, and deliberation (the tendency to think carefully before acting).
		Perhaps more than any other personality trait, conscientiousness is essential for academic performance, particularly in a distance learning environment.

	Conscientiousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		'Conscientiousness is the trait of being painstaking and careful, or the quality of being in accord with the dictates of one's conscience.
		Negative Conscientiousness + Acquisitiveness: propensity towards theft and fraud.
		Negative Conscientiousness + Destructiveness: propensity towards violent behaviour.

	Big Five personality traits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These traits are usually measured as percentile scores, with the average mark at 50%; so for example, a Conscientiousness rating in the 80th percentile indicates a greater than average sense of responsibility and orderliness, while an Extroversion rating in the 5th percentile indicates an exceptional need for solitude and quiet.
		Conscientious individuals avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence.
		Their strongest finding was that psychometric Conscientiousness was predictive of performance in all the job families studied.

	CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
		Conscientiousness, when powerful, is attended with a sense of its own paramount authority over every other faculty, and it gives its impulses with a tone which appears like the voice of Heaven.
		A strong sense of the imperious dictates of Conscientiousness, and of the supreme obligation of truth, leads her to sacrifice every interest and affection which could make the mind swerve from the paths of duty ; and we perceive her holding by her integrity, at the expense of every other feeling dear to human nature.
		Conscientiousness is not the only faculty in the mind, and, although it is paramount in authority, it is not always so in activity.

	Is Conscientiousness ALWAYS Positively Related to Job Performance? July 98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The consistency of Conscientiousness validities across occupational groups (e.g.,.09 for sales to.13 for managers and police, based on all criteria) prompted the researchers to single out Conscientiousness as the one Big Five dimension that is good in all jobs.
		Conscientiousness was considered as a general construct as well as more specifically in terms of Achievement Orientation and Dependability.
		Consistent with the presence of negative correlations, the uncorrected mean correlation between Conscientiousness and overall managerial performance is.07 (based on 186 independent samples representing over 50,000 managers), and the residual variance is 77% (i.e., the 23% variance explained by artifacts is far less than what the 75% rule prescribes).

		Because the conscientiousness distribution is not quite symmetrical, the probabilities computed using the normal distribution will be slightly different from the percentile ranks computed from the raw score distribution itself.
		The area under the curve between minus infinity and z appears in blue and the probability of observing values of z between minus infinity and z is the numerical value in red at the top of the window.
		The conscientiousness distribution has a mean of 24.10 and a standard deviation of 3.17.

		No significant correlations were found between religiosity and extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, but a marginally significant relationship was found between religiosity and openness; r (32) =.33, p=.057.
		Conscientiousness is the level of morality or ethics practiced by an individual.
		The study found that agreeableness and conscientiousness had a strong positive correlation with intrinsic religiosity while neuroticism and openness had a positive and negative, respectively, correlation to extrinsic religiosity.

	Phrenology - Conscientiousness
		Conscientiousness measures the degree of conscience and morality, of commitment, of incorruptibility, of attachment to moral values.
		When Conscientiousness is weakly developed, it manifests in a lack of moral principle, and indifference to what is the sense of right or wrong.
		Conscientiousness is located on the lateral sides of the back of the head.

	personality across cultures
		It probably comes as no surprise to hear that the latest research on personality traits across the lifespan confirms that adolescents are less conscientious than middle-aged adults: Teenagers and college students today are less neat and orderly, less dutiful, poorer in self-discipline, and less goal-oriented than adults of their parents' generation.
		For example, they are encouraged to postpone family responsibilities until they have completed years of formal education, and they usually leave the family home (and parental supervision) to live on their own.
		Declines in neuroticism and increases in conscientiousness may be as natural a part of the human experience as the graying of hair.

	Formal Ethics 3 - Conscientiousness
		Conscientiousness requires that we keep our actions, resolutions, and desires in harmony with our ethical beliefs.
		Conscientiousness duties are generated using weak prescriptivity axiom P, which says "If you ought to do A, then do A" -- and "If it's all right for you to do A, then you may do A." These express a policy of practical commitment to morality.
		We might follow conscientiousness because it promotes our desire to be a good person -- or because it promotes our well-being and self-respect and earns us social approval.

		In my considerations about genius, I have over the years realized one of the pillars of brilliance is conscientiousness (the other are intelligence and associative horizon).
		The importance of this lies in the wide associative horizon which goes with (disposition for) psychosis; it (associative horizon) is good for creativity, but when resulting in actual psychosis it backfires and destroys creativity by attacking its (creativity's) conscientiousness component.
		Conscientiousness seems to be open to improvement through practice, training and study; that makes it probably the only component of creativity and genius that can be improved at will.

		Probably these are located in the realm of conscientiousness, and probably it concerns only part of the traits that make up conscientiousness; most likely those that are not related to ethics.
		My article on conscientiousness gives a list of words describing it, and those without "ethics" behind them seem to be the best candidates for a larger environmental influence.
		But it explains why children of geniuses are mostly not geniuses; for while intelligence, associative horizon and the ethical part of conscientiousness are passed on genetically, the non-ethical parts of conscientiousness may have a smaller genetic component and depend more on aware decision, study, practice, circumstances and (dramatic) events in one's life, perhaps even education.

		In a laboratory study, the predictive value of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness on rating and feedback inflation was examined in a strong situation (i.e., high perceived potential for conflict).
		However, conscientiousness was positively related (r =.28) to the number of clarifying statements, and negatively related to the number of softening statements (r = -.41).
		Those higher in conscientiousness, agreeableness, or openness all were more likely to ask for more clarifications from ratees regarding their performance situations, indicating attempts to collaborate with the ratee during the feedback session.

		However, conscientiousness was not significantly correlated with satisfaction for either sex and was not a predictor, though the correlations between conscientiousness and relationship satisfaction had similar magnitudes to those found by other researchers (e.g., Karney & Bradbury, 1995; Kwan et al., 1997; Shaver & Brennan, 1992).
		Conscientiousness was positively correlated with intimacy for males; however, it was not a significant predictor of intimacy.
		Conscientiousness was expected to correlate positively and significantly with Storge, Agape, and Eros for women; however, these predictions were not supported.

		Because the hypothesis was validated, it is true that Neuroticism and Conscientiousness are significantly negatively correlated, because that is one of the necessary parts of proving mediation.
		As hypothesized, both Neuroticism and Conscientiousness were significant predictors of examination achievement in this study; the former being negatively correlated and the latter being positively correlated.
		It is hypothesized that individuals with high Conscientiousness would be expected to take more time attempting to solve the impossible task, because a measure of Conscientiousness is achievement striving.

	Conscientiousness: Is That All There Is? Oct 98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Let it not be misunderstood, conscientiousness is recognizably an important predictor of performance and many other organizational outcomes (e.g., Barrick and Mount, 1991; Ones and Viswesvaran, 1996).
		These moderate correlations do not indicate that socialization is conscientiousness, but could support the theory that conscientiousness is a subset of the multidimensional socialization construct, or vice versa.
		One way, therefore, to move beyond conscientiousness, the predictor, is through primary studies of socialization and other potential constructs and job performance.

	Turning happiness into economic power
		An example of a personality trait that can build psychological capital is conscientiousness, which, according to speaker Brent Roberts, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, improves both life expectancy and overall well-being.
		Conscientiousness is one of the "Big Five" personality traits defined in the 1970s by psychologists Paul Costa, PhD, and Robert McCrae, PhD, of the National Institutes of Health, and Warren Norman, PhD, of the University of Michigan and Lewis Goldberg, PhD, of the University of Oregon (the others are extraversion, agreeableness, emotional stability and openness).
		The study also indicates that conscientiousness increases over a person's lifetime, along with healthy behaviors, he said, and that improved well-being in each conscientious individual translates into an overall benefit to society, in the form of both happier citizens and lower heath-care costs.

		The results showed that Conscientiousness was amplified in ratings of African-American targets and Extraversion was amplified in ratings of female targets.
		To assess which traits in the Conscientiousness domain were most sensitive to the interaction between race and order, a post-hoc analysis was conducted.
		Ratings of Conscientiousness in African-American targets were amplified relative to European-American targets, whereas no amplification across race was observed for the domains of Extraversion and Agreeableness.

		Conscientiousness scores may range from 10 to 50, with higher scores representing greater levels of Conscientiousness.
		Based on the scatterplot, does the relationship between Conscientiousness score and number of defective widgets appear to be positive, negative, or zero?

	Macomb Daily : Sports : Researchers seek links between neurotics and ill health, earlier deaths 06/29/04
		Participants who scored high in conscientiousness were found to have a risk of death that was nearly half that found for participants who scored low on the trait.
		Interestingly, other researchers have found that children who are high in conscientiousness have lower risk of death later as adults than those low in the trait.
		The researchers concluded that since neuroticism and conscientiousness are traits that we all possess to some degree, understanding better the reason for their associations with mortality has important implications for improving the health and extending the longevity of older adults.

		Participants were prescreened to measure their level of conscientiousness.
		The interview was videotaped and the interviewers rated each participant based on their responses, which was influenced whether they were high in conscientiousness or low in conscientiousness.
		A correlation was found in the study that the higher the conscientiousness the better the score the applicant received by the interviewer.

	Exercise illustrating reliability using the PERS dataset
		The variables represent measures of traits and relevant behaviors for the dimensions of extraversion (outgoingness) and conscientiousness, reported each week for three weeks by a group of undergraduate psychology students.
		Look at the actual questionnaire items for these weekly conscientiousness items (you can jump to this from the place in the codebook that lists these weekly conscientiousness behaviors), and see how this is the case.
		While most of the items are worded so that a higher score indicates greater conscientiousness, these reverse-scored items are clearly worded so that a higher score indicates less conscientiousness.

		In middle adulthood, a decrease in Conscientiousness for women was predicted by both low and high use of Denial; for men, Projection predicted an increase in Conscientiousness.
		Subsequently, the decrease in Extraversion and Conscientiousness for women from middle adulthood to late middle age may reflect a lowered energy level¡ªboth physically and emotionally¡ªas suggested by Carstensen and Charles (1999).

		Moreover, Behling (1998) suggests that conscientiousness is one of the most valid predictors of performance for most jobs, second only to general intelligence.
		Interestingly enough, although conscientiousness is the most frequently examined personality trait in selection contexts, there is debate in the literature regarding construct definition.
		Not only is there disagreement in the literature regarding the conceptual definition of conscientiousness, but researchers have also argued whether a more broadly or narrowly defined conscientiousness is a better predictor of performance.

		Barrick, Mount, and Judge (in press) found variability in the validity coefficients of conscientiousness across studies (rho =.23; 90% credibility values range from.10 to.35), suggesting the presence of moderators.
		The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the conscientiousness x extraversion interaction and manager ratings of problem behaviors.
		The resulting plot was consistent with expectation, as the negative conscientiousness-problem behavior relationship was stronger among workers around the mean or at high levels of extraversion than among workers at low levels of extraversion.

		One is a conscientiousness for the majority of society; this kind of conscientiousness takes on the nature of requisite conscientiousness.
		For instance, the conscientiousness not to steal and not to rob others is a requisite conscientiousness.
		Furthermore, analyzed purely from the perspective of human rationality, requisite conscientiousness is a reflection and an outgrowth of conscientiousness.

		The purpose of this study was to explore the dynamics of institutional departure at a medium-sized northeastern university among a convenience sample of first-time, first-semester students.
		It was suspected that more conscientious students would have a higher commitment to educational goals, become more academically integrated into the university, have a higher grade point average, and be less likely to depart from the university.
		Fifty-six participants completed the conscientiousness subscale of the NEO-FFI and the goal commitment subscale of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire, along with a demographic questionnaire within the first two weeks of the semester.
