Situational and Dispositional Determinants of Intentional Deceiving
Figure 2
Correlations between personality traits and the impact of reputation on deception (RoD).
A) the panel shows the RoD index for each subject. Black dots indicate subjects in whom deceptive behaviour was influenced by reputation risk. White dots indicate subjects in whom deceptive behaviour was not affected by reputation risk. The left part of the figure shows the negative correlations. B) indicates the TCI reward dependence scale is an independent predictor of RoD index. C) shows the significant negative correlation between RoD and Social Desirability Responding [Impression Management + Self-deceptive enhancement (BIDR)]. The right part of the panel show the positive correlations between RoD and Manipulativeness (MACH IV) (D) and Moral Disengagement (MD 2) (E). The higher impact of reputation (lower RoD), the higher the reward dependence and social desirable traits; the lower impact (higher RoD), the higher manipulativeness and moral disengagement traits.
