“…If the facets lacked sufficient discriminant validity, there would be no reason to propose them. For example, facets of Agreeableness show unique concurrent validity for aggression, with correlations ranging from –.13 to –.50 (Crowe, Lynam, & Miller, ), and yet most psychological scientists believe Agreeableness “exists.” Rather than distinct facet correlations, factor analysis is needed to determine the dimensionality of a construct (Chen et al, ). Our factor analyses provide evidence for a general grit factor in most world regions, even though perseverance and consistency of interests showed divergent observed and latent correlations.…”

“…Study 1 was an experimental study (Hyatt et al, 2018) designed to examine the impact of competitive versus neutral cues on aggression in a version of a CRTT called the Response Choice Aggression 1 Different levels of an agreeableness-antagonism hierarchy exist with varying levels of specificity (Crowe, Lynam, & Miller, 2018). The FFM is typically assessed with measures that include six facets per domain.…”

Multiple reviews and meta‐analyses have identified the low pole of the Five‐Factor Model (FFM) Agreeableness (also called Antagonism) as the primary domain‐level personality correlates of aggression across self‐report and behavioral methodologies. In the current study, we expand on this literature by investigating the relations between FFM facets and aggressive behavior as measured by laboratory competitive reaction time tasks (CRTTs). Across three samples (total N = 639), we conducted weighted mean analyses, multiple regression analyses, and dominance analyses to determine which FFM facets were the strongest predictors of aggression within and across domains. These analyses suggested that facets of Agreeableness were among the strongest consistent predictors of CRTT aggression, including Sympathy (r = −.21) and Cooperation (r = −.14), but facets from other FFM domains also yielded meaningful relations (e.g., Anger from Neuroticism; r = .17). We conclude by discussing these results in the context of controversies surrounding laboratory aggression paradigms and emphasizing the importance of considering small effect sizes in the prediction of societally harmful behavior like aggression.

“…Crucially, a distinction has been made between two narrower “aspects” of agreeableness, compassion and politeness (see DeYoung, Quilty, & Peterson, ), which distinguish between the two candidate processes in the Dictator Game. Whereas compassion appears synonymous with constructs such as sympathy and empathic concern, politeness—which has also been called respectfulness (Soto & John, 2017)—appears to reflect etiquette and adherence to codes of social conduct, as shown by its alignment with constructs such as civility, amiability, and compliance (Crowe, Lynam, & Miller, ; DeYoung et al, ). Across four samples, Zhao, Ferguson, and Smillie () showed that it was not compassion, but rather politeness, that consistently and uniquely predicted fairer dictator allocations.…”

Prosociality and morality are critical to the functioning and flourishing of society. There is, however, great variation in the degree to which individuals help or hinder one another, or adhere to ethical standards of "rightness." One way to understand this variation is by drawing on theories and models within personality psychology, which may illuminate the basic individual characteristics that drive a wide range of other-regarding tendencies. In this review, we provide a snapshot of three research strands addressing these themes. The first concerns how personality traits map onto prosocial preferences for fairness and cooperation, as studied using classic social decision-making tasks called economic games. The second concerns the robust associations between personality traits and indicators of inter-group prejudice (e.g., authoritarian ideology). The third concerns the emerging concept of moral exceptionality, and the personality traits that may characterise individuals at the forefront of moral progress. These examples demonstrate the core role that personality psychology is playing in the study of prosocial and moral behaviour, as well as the critical mass emerging in the Australian context around these themes.

Abstract: The current results highlight how specific Agreeableness traits unfold from broader to more specific facets and how these traits are represented in existing measures of this important domain.
