Editing Anchoring effect (section)

=== Personality ===
Correlational research on anchoring bias and personality traits yielded mixed results, with emphasis on the [[Big Five personality traits]] which includes: Conscientiousness (orderly and responsible), neuroticism (uneasy and anxious), extraversion (sociable and outgoing), openness (intelligence and creativity) and agreeableness (polite and trusting). One study found that participants who were high in the Openness trait were more influenced by anchors set by others when estimating the length of the Mississippi river, with no other personality traits correlating to the effects of anchoring.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=McElroy |first1=Todd |last2=Dowd |first2=Keith |date=February 2007 |title=Susceptibility to anchoring effects: How openness-to-experience influences responses to anchoring cues |url=https://doi.org/10.1017/s1930297500000279 |journal=Judgment and Decision Making |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=48–53 |doi=10.1017/s1930297500000279 |issn=1930-2975}}</ref>However, other research showed that it was conscientiousness and agreeableness that increased anchoring biases, while anchoring effects were diminished in participants high in the extraversion trait. <ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Eroglu |first1=Cuneyt |last2=Croxton |first2=Keely L. |date=2010-01-01 |title=Biases in judgmental adjustments of statistical forecasts: The role of individual differences |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169207009000442 |journal=International Journal of Forecasting |series=Special Section: European Election Forecasting |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=116–133 |doi=10.1016/j.ijforecast.2009.02.005 |issn=0169-2070|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Furnham |first1=Adrian |last2=Boo |first2=Hua Chu |date=2011-02-01 |title=A literature review of the anchoring effect |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1053535710001411 |journal=The Journal of Socio-Economics |volume=40 |issue=1 |pages=35–42 |doi=10.1016/j.socec.2010.10.008 |issn=1053-5357|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
