Abstract
The generalizability of personality-outcome relationships in military settings, argued to be a strong situation in the present research, was examined using meta-analysis. Effects based on the Self Description Inventory (SDI) gathered from 20 independent military samples (k = 117, total N = 34,217) were analyzed. Overall, findings concerning conscientiousness and neuroticism provide evidence for the validity of personality in military samples. However, a few constrained associations (e.g., openness-training performance) were obtained, providing some support for the exploration of the military context as a moderator of certain associations. The results are useful to militaries seeking to incorporate personality in selection decisions.
