“…HEXACO traits predicted few observed risk behaviors (YRB), the most predictive were C (5 predictions), X and O (both 3) while A did not predict any YRB. Also, for these results, similarities have been found in the same study [67]. Indeed, even in the latter C, X and O were the most predictive traits, but in terms of content there is only little overlap between the two studies.…”

“…All the predictions unique to the observer form were protective, that is, the higher the trait, the safer the behavior. The fact that here and in another study [67] observer risk behaviors predicted by the HEXACO-MSI traits were few is probably due to the fact that risk behaviors can be, at least in part, hidden by the adolescents to their parents, given the seriousness of some of them. As far as PVB&B regards, there were some new specific predictions with respect to their self-report form, particularly for C and A.…”

“…The HEXACO traits provided specific predictions of the YOR criteria (observed), differently by the wide-spectrum predictions of many of the YSR criteria (self-report): indeed, X predicted mainly observerd internalizing problems whereas H, A and C predicted mainly externalizing problems, a pattern just found by Mottola et al [67] when criteria are observed. About X, this result was also found in Barbaranelli and colleagues' study [53].…”

In this cross-sectional study we aimed at: 1) validating the observer (Obs) version of HEXACO Medium School Inventory Extended (MSI-E); 2) establishing convergent and divergent construct validity of the HEXACO-MSI-E; 3) establishing criterion validity of HEXACO-MSI-E. We administered the HEXACO-MSI-E, the Big Five Questionnaire-Children (BFQ-C), the Internalizing and Externalizing scales of Youth Self Report (YSR), some items of the 2019 Middle School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRB) and some items about adolescents’ values, beliefs, behaviors, and desired features of a possible future job to 1175 adolescents (Mage = 12.03, SD = 0.89) and the observer version of these measures (except for BFQ-C) to 854 parents or legal guardians. The factorial structure and the reliability of the Observer Report of HEXACO-MSI-E were confirmed. Convergent and divergent validity were successfully established with a version of the inventory filled out by parents. Convergent and divergent validity were also established with BFQ-C notwithstanding some only apparent anomalies. Criterion validity was established with respect to four specific groups of criteria collected in both self-report and observer form. HEXACO-MSI-E traits were more predictive with respect to self-report than to observer criteria and the majority were common. Together with the positive results of this study, implications and issues for future studies are discussed.
