The current work aims to understand the relationship between threat perception and ethical decision making in the light of an individual's identity and personality. Specifically, the paper addresses the role of identity and neuroticism in threat perception and conscientiousness in ethical decision making. These relationships are understood in light of a hypothesized link between threat perception and ethical decision making. Results indicate support for a relationship between threat and ethical decision making, but fail to support other study hypotheses. Study results and implications are discussed
