“…activation thresholds) by sampling cues that are diagnostic of the most adaptive modes of operation (e.g. cues to being in a safe vs. a violent social world; cues to one's social value relative to local others) (Buss, 2009; Buss & Penke, 2015; Frankenhuis, Panchanathan, & Barrett, 2013; Hagen & Hammerstein, 2005; Lukaszewski, 2013; Lukaszewski & Roney, 2011; Schaller & Murray, 2008; Sng, Neuberg, Varnum, & Kenrick, 2018; Tooby & Cosmides, 1990b). The components of psychological mechanisms can also vary between individuals due to genetic differences, whether such heritable variation is random (e.g.…”

“…noisy effects of genetic mutations) or adaptively patterned (e.g. heritable behavioural variation being adjusted to the variable demands of different environments) (Buss, 2009; Penke, Denissen, & Miller, 2007; Penke & Jokela, 2016; Tooby & Cosmides, 1990b; Verweij et al, 2012). Finally, psychological variation is also shaped by culturally transmitted information and socioecology (Gangestad et al, 2006; Gurven, 2012; Henrich, 2015; Richerson & Boyd, 2008; Scelza et al, 2019; Smaldino, 2019).…”

The field of personality psychology aspires to construct an overarching theory of human nature and individual differences: one that specifies the psychological mechanisms that underpin both universal and variable aspects of thought, emotion, and behaviour. Here, we argue that the adaptationist toolkit of evolutionary psychology provides a powerful meta-theory for characterizing the psychological mechanisms that give rise to within-person, betweenperson, and cross-cultural variations. We first outline a mechanism-centred adaptationist framework for personality science, which makes a clear ontological distinction between (i) psychological mechanisms designed to generate behavioural decisions and (ii) heuristic trait concepts that function to perceive, describe, and influence others behaviour and reputation in everyday life. We illustrate the utility of the adaptationist framework by reporting three empirical studies. Each study supports the hypothesis that the anger programme-a putative emotional adaptation-is a behaviour-regulating mechanism whose outputs are described in the parlance of the person description factor called 'Agreeableness'. We conclude that the most productive way forward is to build theory-based models of specific psychological mechanisms, including their culturally evolved design features, until they constitute a comprehensive depiction of human nature and its multifaceted variations.

“…Other recent work continues to go further afield. Indigenous lexical studies in two of Africa's four main language groups, East African Maasai and West Africa Supyire-Senufo, led to a common four-dimensional structure, with factors tentatively labeled Anger, Laziness, Virtue, and Happiness; anger correlates moderately with Big Five and Six Agreeableness (Thalmayer, Saucier, Ole-Kotikash, Payne, & Carlson, 2018). The South African Personality Inventory (SAPI) project comprised extensive efforts to develop an indigenous inventory "culture fair" to the country's 4 ethnic and 11 language groups (Fetvadjiev, Meiring, van de Vijver, Nel, & Hill, 2015).…”

“…Although the Big Six is more replicable than the Big Five, it is not fully ubiquitous among cultures. The psycholexical studies conducted so far indicate that only two factors are culturally universal (Saucier & Srivastava, 2015;Saucier et al, 2014;Strus & Cieciuch, 2019;Thalmayer, Saucier, Ole-Kotikash, & Payne, 2019). The Big Two factors are usually termed Social Self-Regulation and Dynamism.…”

BackgroundThe HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised (HEXACO-PI-R), available in 200-, 100-, and 60-item versions, has become one of the most frequently applied measurement tools for the assessment of basic personality dimensions.Participants and procedureIn this study we examined the Polish versions of the HEXACO-60 and the HEXACO-100 inventories in a community sample of 522 individuals (aged 16-75, M = 32.02, SD = 14.15, 56.3% female). We verified the factor validity of both inventories with exploratory structural equation modeling. Additionally, we tested a six-factor solution on the HEXACO-60 items with principal axis extraction and we compared a factor matrix of the Polish adaptation of the HEXACO-100 facets with the factor matrix of the original version of the HEXACO-100 facets in an exploratory factor comparison analysis. We analyzed correlations between HEXACO domains and various models of personality traits, including the Big Two, Big Six, Big Five, and 10 Big Five as-pects.ResultsInternal consistency reliability coefficients for scales and subscales were satisfactory. The analyses supported the six-factor structure of the inventories and the results of correlation analyses were consistent with expectations.ConclusionsThe results indicate that the Polish versions of the HEXACO-60 and the HEXACO-100 inventories are reliable and valid in-struments for measuring basic personality traits in the HEXACO model.
