作者：

Highlights：

• Two studies found CR and attrition relate to Big 5 personality traits and to bias.

• Study 1 found a high base rate of carelessness (23%) and mid-study attrition (13%).

• Attrition and CR made a more conscientious, agreeable, and less extraverted sample.

• Simulated data showed maximal bias of 0.15 resulting from CR and attrition.
