  • Amsterdam Leadership Lab 7 Van der Boechorststraat Amsterdam, NH, 1081 BT Netherlands (map)

Building upon trait activation theory and the HEXACO model of personality, we investigated how HEXACO traits, particularly Honesty-Humility, manifest in (a) daily-life situations via a retrospective diary study, (b) emotional communications to others' (mis)fortunes via a vignette survey study, and (c) cheating behavior in an experimental mind game.
