“…The Mach scale is well established in the social psychology literature (McHoskey et al, 1998;Wilson et al, 1996Wilson et al, , 1998. Researchers have found both that the scale is reliable, in that individuals' scores vary little from one administration of the test to another, and that it generally accords with other personality assessment tools (Fehr et al, 1992;Wrightsman, 1991;Panitz, 1989;McHoskey et al, 1998;McHoskey, 1999;McHoskey and Hicks, 1999).…”

This paper examines the effect of subjects playing both roles in a trust game. We compare two information treatments to our replication of the single-role trust game. The treatments alter the point at which participants are told they will play both roles. We find that playing both roles reduces both trust and reciprocity. We also explore relationships between demographic and personality characteristics and decisions in the game. We find that a social-psychological measure of Machiavellian behavior predicts distrust but not a lack of trustworthiness, and that non-white participants trust less in a predominantly white environment, but are no less trustworthy.

“…According to Forsyth, Nye, & Kelley, (1988), individuals with high idealism are also likely to support the ethics of caring. Idealism has also been found to correlate negatively towards social dominance orientation (Wilson, 2003) and Machiavellianism (Leary, Knight, & Barnes 1986;McHoskey & Hicks, 1999). Finally, McHoskey (1996) found positive relationship between right-wing authoritarianism and idealism.…”

Fraud is a global issue overwhelming all aspects of human economic and business activities as it poses potential threat of financial losses. Many detection and prevention mechanisms, such as internal control systems, operational audits, codes of conduct and forensic accounting have been applied in organizations aiming to effectively mitigate internal fraud activities. However, fraud is still occurring. This study is therefore aimed to develop a multidimensional theoretical model which explains factors (categorized under attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral controls) that influence Levers of Controls (LOC); how level of LOC could influence fraud prevention framework as well as whether LOC could mediate the relationship between planned behavioral variables and effective fraud prevention framework. Concerning more on the adoption and post-adoption stages regarding drivers of LOC, this study constructs a model in attempt to close the knowledge gaps found in prior studies. From literature review, theories relating with fraud prevention and behavioral controls were examined to identify knowledge gaps within previous measurements of effective fraud prevention framework. A multidimensional Fraud Prevention (FP) model is then developed by innovating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).
