Abstract
The current study examined differences between individuals self-reporting computer-related deviant behaviors and those reporting no computer-related deviant behaviors. The study focused on the Big-5 personality characteristics, moral decision making, and exploitive manipulative amoral dishonesty characteristics. It was hypothesized that computer deviants would be more introverted, exploitive and manipulative, neurotic, less open to experience, and lower on social moral choice than individuals not reporting deviant computer-related behavior. As predicted, computer deviants scored lower on social moral choice and were more exploitive and manipulative. Implications of these findings and suggestions for further research in this area are discussed.
