“…Perhaps the best example involves sex: the Honesty‐Humility scale contains no sex‐related items, but it is negatively related to outcomes such as short‐term mating orientation or willingness to engage in sexual harassment ‘quid pro quos’ (e.g. Ashton & Lee, ; Bourdage, Lee, Ashton, & Perry, ) or number of sex partners (Gaughan, ; Provenzano, Dane, Farrell, Marini, & Volk, ).…”

Objections to the HEXACO Model of Personality Structure—and why those Objections Fail

2020

The six‐dimensional HEXACO model of personality structure and its associated inventory have increasingly been used in personality research. But in spite of the evidence supporting this structure and demonstrating its advantages over five‐dimensional models, some researchers continue to use and promote the latter. Although there has been little overt, organized argument against the adoption of the HEXACO model, we do hear sporadic offerings of reasons for retaining the five‐dimensional systems, usually in informal conversations, in manuscript reviews, on social media platforms, and occasionally in published works. In this target article, we list all of the objections to the HEXACO model that we have heard of, and we then explain why each objection fails. © 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology

“…Accordingly, it is expected that this criterion will not be as prominent in relation to bullying exposure. Nevertheless, there are studies showing links between bullying perpetration and increased sexual behavior [i.e., number of partners, younger sexual debut; e.g., ( 91 , 117 )], which is linked to higher social status ( 118 ). It seems reasonable to assume that some bullied children and adolescents will engage in sexual behavior as a way of elevating their standing in the peer group or to create protective alliances.…”

Bullying Victimization and Trauma

Bullying victimization and trauma research traditions operate quite separately. Hence, it is unclear from the literature whether bullying victimization should be considered as a form of interpersonal trauma. We review studies that connect bullying victimization with symptoms of PTSD, and in doing so, demonstrate that a conceptual understanding of the consequences of childhood bullying needs to be framed within a developmental perspective. We discuss two potential diagnoses that ought to be considered in the context of bullying victimization: (1) developmental trauma disorder, which was suggested but not accepted as a new diagnosis in the DSM-5 and (2) complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which has been included in the ICD-11. Our conclusion is that these frameworks capture the complexity of the symptoms associated with bullying victimization better than PTSD. We encourage practitioners to understand how exposure to bullying interacts with development at different ages when addressing the consequences for targets and when designing interventions that account for the duration, intensity, and sequelae of this type of interpersonal trauma.

“…Additional cross-cultural evidence (see Ashton & Lee, 2020a), genetic evidence (Lewis & Bates, 2014), and behavioral evidence (e.g. Provenzano et al, 2018) all strongly support the HEXACO factors as representing an adaptive range of predispositions towards different forms of human behavior. For example, the high poles of Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, and Agreeableness would likely encourage cooperation with others, which has clear evolutionary advantages from the standpoint of reciprocal altruism (Hilbig et al, 2013).…”
