A fundamental assumption about human behavior forming the backbone of trait theories is that, to some extent, individuals behave consistently across structurally comparable situations. However, especially for unethical behavior, consistency has been severely questioned, at least from early 19th century onward. We provide a strict test prominent instance behavior-dishonesty-in large (N = 1,916) and demographically diverse sample. Dishonest was measured three times-up 3 years apart-using...

Thus, individuals not following study invitations (self-selection), completing all administered measures (showing dropout) and/or participating at subsequent measurement occasions attrition) pose a significant challenge Building on existing research documenting that non-response does occur randomly, we herein test for potential predictors of non-responding each the three stages by combining official register (census) data from randomly...

Abstract Dishonest and fraudulent behavior poses a serious threat to both individuals societies. Many studies investigating dishonesty rely on (one of) few well‐established lab online cheating paradigms. Quite surprisingly, though, the external validity of these paradigms has only been investigated in small number studies, raising question whether is related real‐life or, more broadly, socially questionable behavior. Tackling this gap, we link observed two widely used approval rates...
Abstract Previous research suggests that judgments about a male speaker's trustworthiness vary due to the voice pitch (mean F0) and differ across domains. However, mixed results in terms of direction extent such effects have been reported. Moreover, no study so far has investigated whether men's mean F0 is, indeed, valid cue their self-reported behavioral trustworthiness, are accurate. We tested relation between actual general, economic, mating-related 181 men, as well 95 perceivers all...
Abstract Sexual selection appears to have shaped the acoustic signals of diverse species, including humans. Deep, resonant vocalizations in particular may function attracting mates and/or intimidating same-sex competitors. Evidence for these adaptive functions human males derives predominantly from perception studies which vocal parameters were manipulated using specialist software. This approach affords tight experimental control but provides little ecological validity, especially when...
Abstract. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has strongly affected individuals and societies worldwide. In this review meta-analysis, we investigated how aversive personality traits – that is, relatively stable antisocial characteristics related to perceived, evaluated, responded the COVID-19 pandemic. Across 34 studies with overall 26,780 participants, found people higher scores in were less likely perceive guidelines restrictions curb spread of virus as protective ([Formula: see text]...

Corrupted collaboration, that is, gaining personal profits through collaborative immoral acts, is a common and destructive phenomenon in societies. Despite the societal relevance of corrupted role one’s own as well partner’s characteristics has hitherto remained unexplained. In present study, we test these roles using sequential dyadic die-rolling paradigm ( N = 499 across five conditions). Our results indicate interacting with fully dishonest partner leads to higher cheating rates than...
Trustworthiness is a foundation of well-functioning relationships and societies, thus often perceived as socially normative behaviour. Correspondingly, broad array research found that people tend to act in trustworthy way signal their trustworthiness others, rewarded. Herein, we explore whether this motivation behave trustworthily can have undesirable effects terms leading dishonesty targeted at fulfilling the trustor's expectations (i.e. dishonesty). Furthermore, examine how basic trait...
The question of whether and, if so, how creativity and unethical behavior such as dishonesty are related to each other has been addressed in multiple studies, with mixed results overall. aim this Registered Report is shed further light on issue. We first present a meta-analysis the relation between comprising samples from pre-registered multi-lab study (on different topic), which indicated no constructs ( k = 19, N 2,154, r p .02). Next, we examined 1,152), several limitations previous...
Abstract Objectives When judging a male speakers’ likelihood to act sexually unfaithful in committed relationship, listeners rely on the voice pitch such that lower is perceived as indicating being more unfaithful. In line with this finding, recent study (Schild et al. Behavioral Ecology , 2020) provided first evidence might indeed be valid cue sexual infidelity men. study, speakers pitch, indicated by mean fundamental frequency (mean F0), were actually likely report having been past....

Abstract Objective The evolutionary-contingency hypothesis, which suggests that preferences for leaders are context-dependent, has found relatively consistent support from research investigating leadership decisions based on facial pictures. Here, we test whether these results transfer to voice recordings. We examined how dominance and trustworthiness perceptions relate in wartime peacetime contexts effects differ by a speaker’s gender. Further, investigate two cues might be related...
