Abstract
We hypothesized a positive correlation between HEXACO Honesty-Humility (H-H) and truth bias due to higher trustworthiness expectations for people higher in H-H. We also predicted that H-H and the correct classification of truthful and deceptive messages should be uncorrelated. In three high-powered online studies conducted via Prolific, we applied classical lie-truth detection tasks. An internal meta-analysis (N = 1,484) revealed no significant effect, neither for the H-H truth-bias link, nor for the H-H detection accuracy link. We discuss the shortcomings of the present set of studies and theoretical implications for future research on the relationship between personality traits and veracity judgments, focusing on the role of variability in different measurement paradigms.
期刊介绍：
Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
