“…What is more important is that the used form of aggression (more subtle, indirect) is more indicative for Honesty-Humility than the function of aggression (reactive or proactive). This result is not in line with the suggestions based on results from previous studies (Book et al, 2012;Knight, 2016;Lee & Ashton, 2012), but in these studies distinctions between forms and functions of aggression were not made. To conclude, community network analysis enables us to compare the few stronger associations of Honesty-Humility facets with aggressiveness components (indirect aggression and dominance), internal structure of correlations inside this domain, and associations of Honesty-Humility facets with other domains, and as a result we can conclude that all Honesty-Humility facets form a weak, but autonomous community.…”

The a im of this research was to examine the relations between the HEXACO facets and aggressiveness components (anger, vengefulness, domination, hostility, reactive aggression, proactive aggression, and indirect aggression). On a sample of 654 participants from general population, HEXACO-60, Aggressiveness Questionnaire AVDH, Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), and Indirect Aggression Scale (IAS) were applied. The results of the community structure network analysis provided the most informative insight into these relations and showed that all aggressiveness components formed a single community with the Agreeableness facets. Thereby, facet Patience was the strongest correlate of anger, and hostility had the highest clustering coefficient, which brings together the Agreeableness facets and aggressiveness components. Although Honesty-Humility formed a separate community, some of its facets had strong isolated connections with indirect aggression and dominance. The results revealed that Agreeableness is a dominant correlate of aggressiveness and captures all aggressiveness components, while Honesty-Humility is related to specific components, referring to a manifestation of aggressiveness in a more subtle and indirect way.

“…However, exploitative tendencies, a sense of entitlement, exhibitionism, and an excessively positive self-image characterize the former; whereas in the latter, such fantasies of superiority remain unconscious and participants appear hypersensitive, anxious, shy, and unconfident, with a sense of self-worth that is contingent upon the recognition of others (Miller et al, 2011; Pincus et al, 2009). Some research explored the distinct contributions of GN and VN, showing different patterns of results concerning their capacity to predict aggression (Barry, McDougall, Anderson, & Bindon, 2018; Hart, Adams, & Tortoriello, 2017; Knight, Dahlen, Bullock-Yowell, & Madson, 2018; Krizan & Johar, 2015; Lobbestael, Baumeister, Fiebig, & Eckel, 2014; Schoenleber, Sadeh, & Verona, 2011). Based on our knowledge, every study that employed a measure of VN, or VN’s feature such as contingent self-esteem, has identified the role of VN.…”

“…The part played by grandiosity is more controversial, with some authors reporting it as linked with both reactive and proactive aggressions (Lobbestael et al, 2014), whereas others linked it either with reactive aggression (Hart et al, 2017) or with proactive aggression alone (Schoenleber et al, 2011). In one case, GN even emerged as a negative predictor of both reactive and proactive aggressions (Knight et al, 2018). Inconsistency in results may depend on the wide variety of research designs and sample types used (e.g., college students vs. forensic participants), as well as the multiple ways in which the variables are defined and measured.…”

Impulsivity seems closely related to both narcissism and spitefulness as a potential common pathway by which these pathological personality traits lead to violence. We administered the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, the Spitefulness Scale, and the Impulsive Behavior Scale Short Form to a sample of individuals convicted of violent offenses ( n = 182) and a sample of community participants ( n = 203). Hierarchical regression analysis of the convicted sample showed that spitefulness predicted AQ scores positively and significantly beyond the roles of both pathological narcissism and impulsivity. Finally, mediation analyses showed that impulsivity partially mediated the relationships between aggression and both grandiose narcissism and spitefulness. Our results support the hypothesis that spitefulness plays an important role in the prediction of aggressiveness. Finally, impulsivity seems to be a central common variable that explains the relationship between pathological personality traits and aggressive behavior among individuals convicted of violent offenses.

In research on the relations between HEXACO personality and antisocial/aggressive behaviours, HEXACO honesty‐humility was typically found to be the best (negative) predictor of adolescent bullying (Provenzano, Dane, Farrell, Marini, & Volk, ; Volk, Provenzano, Farrell, Dane, & Shulman, ; Volk, Schiralli, Xia, Zhao, & Dane, ), proactive aggression (Book, Visser, Volk, Holden, & D'Agata, ; Dinić & Wertag, ; Sokolovska, Dinić, & Tomašević, ), relational aggression (Knight, Dahlen, Bullock‐Yowell, & Madson, ), antisocial behaviours at school (Allgaier et al, ), and sadism (Plouffe, Saklofske, & Smith, ).…”

Getting along And/Or Getting Ahead: Differential Hexaco Personality Correlates of Likeability and Popularity among Adolescents

et al. 2020

Getting along (i.e. to be liked) and getting ahead (i.e. to be popular) are two fundamental psychological motives that have important consequences for adolescents' well-being. Especially antisocial behavioural tendencies, which are less well covered by the Big Five than by the HEXACO model, have been shown to differentially predict likeability and popularity. In this study, possible differential relations between personality and likeability and popularity were investigated using the HEXACO Simplified Personality Inventory and sociometric measures of likeability and popularity among 552 (12 to 14 years old) adolescents. Results showed that agreeableness was the most important likeability predictor, whereas extraversion (positive), openness to experience, honesty-humility, and agreeableness (all three negative) were the most important popularity predictors. Facet-level analyses revealed that selected HEXACO facets (greed avoidance, fearfulness, social boldness, gentleness, prudence, perfectionism, aesthetic appreciation, and altruism) most strongly-and in opposite directions-differentiated in the prediction of likeability and popularity. Furthermore, none of the expected interactions but several masking and cancellation effects were observed. The results, which are also discussed in light of interpersonal circumplex, resource control strategies, hierarchical differentiation, and socioanalytic frameworks, suggest that-among early adolescents-differential personality predictors may make it difficult to both get along and get ahead.
