“…Previous research also demonstrates that individuals higher in Machiavellianism display concern over their reputation through strategic thinking and do not engage in impulsive behaviour (Christie & Geis, 1970;Jones & Paulhus, 2011a;Jones & Paulhus 2011b).…”

“…Furthermore, Machiavellianism is associated with a lack of connection to their own feelings (Christie & Geis, 1970;Wastell & Booth, 2003) and with seeking closeness in others primarily to manipulate whilst hiding their own vulnerabilities and weakness to order to avoid exploitation themselves (Ináncsi, Láng, & Bereczkei, 2015;Sherry, Hewitt, Besser, Flett, & Klein, 2006). Women high on Machiavellianism report that non-romantic relationships provide low levels of intimacy and emotional security (Abell, Brewer, Qualter, & Austin, 2016) and show a preference for relationships with low levels of emotional closeness and commitment (Ali, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2010).…”

“…Machiavellianism, characterised by emotional detachment, distrust, and a willingness to exploit others (Christie & Geis, 1970;Vecchio & Sussman, 1991), has been shown to influence the attraction of a romantic partner, relationship quality, and relationship maintenance. For example, those with high levels of Machiavellianism display low levels of relationship commitment, increased infidelity, and higher levels of sexual deception (Ali, & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2010;Brewer & Abell, 2015).…”

“…The Mach IV (Christie & Geis, 1970) is a uni-dimensional measure of Machiavellianism which assesses interactions with others, morality, and cynicism. The scale contains 20 items rated on a 7 point likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree).…”

Psycholexical studies of personality structure in several languages have recovered, in addition to variants of the Big Five factors, a sixth factor that has been given names suggesting honesty, such as ‘Integrity’, ‘Trustworthiness’, ‘Truthfulness’, and ‘Values’. Using a sample of Korean respondents (N = 610), we correlated lexical markers of the Big Five and the Honesty factor with several questionnaire variables that are relevant to the exploitation of others, including Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Social Adroitness. Results indicated that those measures were much more strongly related to the Honesty factor than to any of the Big Five. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The current study describes the development of the Attorney-Client Trust Scale (ACTS), a measure designed to assess a client's trust in his or her attorney. A sample of 307 male inmates completed the ACTS and provided information about their most recent case and attorney. Low ACTS scores were associated with having a court-appointed attorney, going to trial, and receiving a lengthy prison sentence. High ACTS scores were related to satisfaction with sentences and attorneys. In addition, findings suggest that perceptions about attorneys' interpersonal skills were as important as perceptions about legal skills in forming opinions about overall lawyering ability. It is recommended that attorneys employ a well rounded assortment of interpersonal skills to foster their clients' trust and to make better use of the limited amount of time they have to spend with clients.
