Abstract
We perform a meta-analysis of almost 400 studies to assess honesty-humility’s relationships with the (H)EXACO, Big Five, and Dark Triad dimensions. We meta-analytically support that honesty-humility shares a modest amount of variance with the (H)EXACO and Big Five dimensions, although it is more strongly associated with Big Five agreeableness than HEXACO agreeableness. Honesty-humility does, however, very strongly relate to the Dark Triad, and the unreliability-corrected correlation of honesty-humility with Machiavellianism approaches levels expected in tests of convergent validity. Most relationships significantly differed based on the measure and facet. We urge future authors to investigate the facets shared between honesty-humility and Machiavellianism as well as assess differences of the HEXACO against the Big Five and Dark Triad (B5 + D3) when studied together.
