<p>Personality traits influence our outlook and choices in life, and may also influence how we evaluate and respond to an extreme event such as the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Here we combined big-5 personality measures from a large nationally representative sample before the onset of the pandemic with measures of perceived risk and compliance four months into the pandemic. We predicted that low extraversion, low openness, and high neuroticism would predict higher perceived risk. We further predicted that high conscientiousness, low extraversion, high agreeableness, high openness, and high neuroticism would predict higher compliance. To provide transparency and to control for flexibility in the analysis and reporting of the many possible associations, hypotheses and analysis plans were reviewed and approved in advance of aligning the two datasets (a registered report format). Our results supported [none of the hypotheses / all of the hypotheses / the hypotheses about the effect of conscientiousness / extraversion / agreeableness / openness / neuroticism / on perceived risk / on compliance].&nbsp;</p>
