Abstract

We hypothesized that education, physical abuse, and physical neglect would predict openness to experiences. An anonymous survey was provided to 398 adults with an average age of 45.5. The results indicated that years of education, physical neglect, and physical abuse were the best predictors of openness to experiences.
