Abstract

This paper analyzes the current state of knowledge regarding the relationship between Conscientiousness and cognitive ability. The association between the two variables, the correlation between the sub-factors of Conscientiousness and cognitive ability and the impact of the sample type on the relationship were explored. Following a systematic literature review, 81 unique studies were identified. In terms of inclusion criteria, studies had to (1) report any link between Conscientiousness and cognitive ability, (2) conceptualize Conscientiousness through the Big Five model, and (3) report a measure of cognitive ability (regardless of conceptualization). Several random-effects meta-analyses were conducted, obtaining meta-analytical correlations of .02, -.06 and -.06 between Conscientiousness (global) and cognitive abilities (global), crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence, respectively. Moreover, for the correlations between the facets of Conscientiousness and cognitive abilities, 6 random-effect models were carried out, however the evidence was statistically significant only in the case of order and achievement striving scales. Finally, the sample type was considered as a potential moderator of the relationship between conscientiousness and cognitive ability, but it was not supported by the available data. These findings were discussed within the context of the relevant literature and several limitations and directions for future research were also taken into consideration.

尽责性与认知能力:一个元分析

本文分析了尽责性与认知能力关系的研究现状。探讨了两个变量之间的关系、尽责性与认知能力子因子之间的相关关系以及样本类型对关系的影响。经过系统的文献回顾，确定了81项独特的研究。在纳入标准方面，研究必须(1)报告尽责性和认知能力之间的任何联系，(2)通过大五模型概念化尽责性，(3)报告认知能力的衡量标准(无论概念化与否)。进行了几项随机效应荟萃分析，获得了0.02，-的荟萃分析相关性。06和-。责任心(全球)和认知能力(全球)、结晶智力和流动智力之间的差异分别为0.06。此外，对于责任心与认知能力之间的相关性，我们进行了6个随机效应模型，但只有在秩序和成就努力量表中证据具有统计学意义。最后，样本类型被认为是尽责性和认知能力之间关系的潜在调节因子，但没有得到现有数据的支持。这些发现在相关文献的背景下进行了讨论，并考虑了未来研究的几个局限性和方向。
