Abstract

Since human errors can cause various accidents, it is necessary to identify the causes of human errors to prevent such accidents. In this study, we investigated the relation between errors and personalities by conducting correlation and multiple regression analyses between locus of control, BIS/BAS scales and errors observed in the stop-signal task. The result showed that internal locus of control was negatively correlated with reaction times and positively correlated with commission errors on go and stop trials. The behavioral inhibition system was negatively correlated with commission errors on the stop trials. Results demonstrated that the higher scores of internal locus of control was associated with more commission errors on go and stop trials due to fast responses, and the lower scores of the behavioral inhibition system was associated with more frequent stop commission errors due to failure of inhibition. The present study suggests the possibility of prevention of errors through the relation between error types and personality traits.
