项目摘要

This proposed follow-up project aims at continuation of the central findings from the previous Project. The original project investigated the validity of the personality dimension Honesty-Humility as defined in the recently proposed HEXACO Model of Personality. As a central test, we investigated whether - corresponding to the underlying theory - self-reported Honesty-Humility scores can actually predict ethical or honest behavior, respectively. In a series of experiments, the previous project showed that Honesty-Humility (but no other basic trait dimension) yielded a consistent, substantial, and robust positive relation to honest behavior in established behavioral paradigms. The proposed project follows-up on this finding, aiming to provide broader knowledge on ethical behavior in general and a more thorough understanding of the relation between such behavior and personality in particular. Correspondingly, the project targets both the generality (when) and the underlying psychological processes (why) of the observed effect of Honesty-Humility - with the primary aim of uncovering the psychological (that is, social, cognitive, and motivational) processes involved. To this end, the project puts forward and builds upon a theoretical framework that specifies the central components of ethical behavior based on the current state-of-knowledge in this research area. By means of specific experimental manipulations of the theoretically derived components - and tests of corresponding person-situation interactions - the project critically scrutinizes a series of specific hypotheses on how personality traits (specifically Honesty-Humility) influence ethical behavior and under which conditions (in the sense of real-life situations) this is the case. Through diverse paradigmatic extensions and new manipulations, the results will additionally extend prior knowledge on (dis)honest behavior in general.

这个拟议的后续项目旨在延续前一个项目的主要成果。最初的项目调查了最近提出的HEXACO人格模型中定义的人格维度诚实-谦卑的有效性。作为一个中心测试，我们调查了——与基本理论相对应——自我报告的诚实-谦卑分数是否可以分别预测道德行为或诚实行为。在一系列的实验中，先前的项目表明，诚实-谦卑（但没有其他基本特质维度）在既定的行为范式中与诚实行为产生了一致的、实质性的、强有力的正相关。拟议的项目是在这一发现的基础上进行的，旨在提供更广泛的关于道德行为的知识，并更彻底地了解这种行为与个性之间的关系。相应地，该项目针对的是观察到的诚实-谦卑效果的普遍性（何时）和潜在的心理过程（为什么），其主要目的是揭示所涉及的心理过程（即社会、认知和动机）。为此，该项目提出并建立了一个理论框架，该框架根据该研究领域的当前知识状况，规定了道德行为的核心组成部分。通过对理论衍生成分的具体实验操作，以及相应的人-情境互动的测试，该项目严格审查了一系列关于人格特质（特别是诚实-谦卑）如何影响道德行为以及在哪些条件下（在现实生活中）会发生这种情况的具体假设。通过不同的范式扩展和新的操作，结果将进一步扩展关于（不）诚实行为的一般先验知识。
